There are basically only 3 chords to this with a variation of the C chord on certain words. Pretty easy song
when you get the hang of it. Dadd4 is just a C chord moved up 2 frets
WHERE THERE ARE 0's you pick that string.

[Verse 1]
GI know the “you” when you are getting dressed
CIs not the “you” I've really come to knowG
Dadd4She speaks in shorter phrases
Gadd4/CAnd she often can't remember
GWhich impulsive words were emDadd4itted as respoGnse
[Verse 2]
GBut it's not a selfish shorter-spanned attention
Rather prefCerence for the politics of grGooming
Hell, I'd pDadd4aint my face and fingers
And my tGadd4/Coes and lips and eyelids
If it mGeant tonight I didn't have to tDadd4hink about the future
GJust to fixate my attention on a wooden powder pencil
CNot a single thought devoted
To whatGever's on outside the house
Or eDadd4ven past the door to your mother's baGadd4/Cthroom
Where we're sitting
And survGiving on the steadiness oDadd4f passing tGime
[Chorus 1]
GSo when the lines are drawn and all the powders matted
You'll be sCtanding there blinking at your Gimage
Dadd4And you wished that it would turn around
Gadd4/CAnd do what it's supposed to
GBut reflections do not Dadd4turn themselves awGay
[Verse 3]
GWhen you were younger and your mother started drinking
She would tCuck you in and close your bedroom dooGr
Then one niDadd4ght you sprung awake
Inside a tuGadd4/Crning twisted dream
And you rGan downstairs to find her laying Dadd4out across the Gfloor
[Verse 4]
GShe did not hear you softly crying near her
COr feel your mouth all hot against her eGar
Dadd4So you kissed her like she taught you
And for the Gadd4/Cfirst time on the head
You got Gup and tucked your Dadd4own self into Gbed
[Chorus 2]
GSo when the lines are drawn and all the powders matted
You'll be sCtanding there blinking at your Gimage
Dadd4And you wished that it would turn around
Gadd4/CAnd do what it's supposed to
GBut reflections do not Dadd4turn themselves aGway
Yeah you Dadd4wished that you would turn around
And Gadd4/Cdo what you're supposed to
GBut it's easier to Dadd4blink and stare and sGtay
