I suggest watching http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=BB3hXrW_jz8
to get timings and such.
intro - slow build up:
Brenden starts by plucking and building up to a G chord While Jake plays some harmonics
that i can't quite make out.
----------------------------------------------------|
----------------------8-8-8-------------8-8-8-8-8-8-|
7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-|

G-Gm-d
This part is pretty easy. Brenden strums a G, Gm, D (sometimes standard d, sometimes a
power chord with a B bass note on the 6th string) while Jake lays a reverse arpeggio on
the G and G minor something like this:
---------------------------------------------|
3--------3-----------------------------------|
--4--------3-------7-------------------------|
----5--------5-----7-------------------------|
------5--------5---5-------------------------|
---------------------------------------------|
That's the basis of the intro/chrous parts. Jake does a lot of improv, particularly
around the D chord in the chorus chords.
During the verses Brenden plays some arpeggio around the following chord forms
D Bb/Gm G
2-------0----3-------0----3----|
3-------3----3-------3----3----|
2-------0-OR-0-------0-or-0----|
--------0----0-------0----0----|
--------1----1-------x----x----|
---------------------3----3----|
The first couple of verses are just Joel playing keys, but if you are playing on an
acoustic by yourself you can play as well:
I hope its tDrue but Bb/Gmill make dueG with
the things that i haDve heard Bb/Gm G
so if i Ddo this rBb/Gmight then Gi might
get what i deDserve Bb/Gm G

The Chorus chords continue until the end
