All chords are meant to be read from the low E to the high E. In other words 
022000 (Em) means that you fret the A and D strings at the 2nd fret, and 
leave all the others open. An X means that you don't play the string.
Intro (strum each chord once, and listen to the song to get the rhytm):
 Dsus2/  Dm/  Dsus4/  C/  Csus4/ C  
To make this easy, hold down Dsus2 (x00230) first. Then use your forefinger 
to fret the high-E string on the first fret (x00231) to play Dm. Finally, 
use your little finger to hold down the same string on the third fret 
(x00233) to get Dsus4. It's actually a lot simpler than it sounds. To play 
the last part, play C (032010) and use your forefinger (the one holding the 
B string at the first fret) to bar the high-E on the same fret and get Csus4
Dsus2When I'm lost, DmI find a way
          Dsus4   C/  Csus4/  C  
I hear voices...
Dsus2Feelings surround me, Dmcloser to the edge,
             Dsus4   C/  Csus4/ C  
I close my eyes...
The bridge is essentially the two chords F (133211) and E flat (668886)
played in alternation, and ending on Dsus2 (slide down from E flat to play
FAnd my luck keeps holding strong,

it sound better), then move to Am (002210) and do the same with Asus2 
(002200) and finally move to C which you can, if you wish, alternate with 
Csus4 (as above). As you end the chorus, start playing the intro again.
