This song is the same four chords throughout with a small change in the bridge.
I rated this intermediate due to the barre chords, but you can transpose it down 2 half steps
and use a capo on 2 for a beginner version.
[INTRO]
Some kind of light at the end...
When touching the edge of her skin
  D    Bm    F#m   A(x2)
[VERSE]
Once so hDard to speak, now so Bmeasy to play around
Catching your F#meye you knowA  
That eye that slDapped you in your face, calls you a Bmpuppy
Well how do you say I was F#mhypnotized - HypnAotized
My Dwords, they pour like cBmhildren to the playground
F#mChildren to the playground - AYou make me smile 
[CHORUS]
DThere's some kind of light at the end
BmStoned, forgetful, and then
F#mI'm drinking what used to be sin
AAnd touching the edge of her skin
[VERSE]
And Dcould you be the one that's not aBmfraid
To look me in the F#meyeA  
I sDwear I would collapse if I would tBmell 
how I think you feF#mll from the sAky
My Dwords, they pour like cBmhildren to the playground
F#mChildren to the playground - AYou make me smile 
[CHORUS - repeat x2]
DThere's some kind of light at the end
BmStoned, forgetful, and then
F#mI'm drinking what used to be sin
AAnd touching the edge of her skin
[BRIDGE]
BmIt's the feeling I get, my palms with Dsweat
Like some kind of daydream I'll never F#mforget
I'm stuck in this spin where does it bAegin
By touching the edge of her skin
BmIt's the feeling I get, my palms with Dsweat
Like some kind of daydream I'll never F#mforget
I'm stuck in this spin where does it bGegin
By touching the edge of her skin
[CHORUS - repeat x2]
DThere's some kind of light at the end
BmStoned, forgetful, and then
