The same fingerpicking pattern between the Am strums in the intro is present in the verse and in between bits.
For the high note in between the chorus and the second verse I'm pretty sure he just mutes all
strings except for the first, fingers a 12 on that, and slowly strums all 6. Like xxxxx-12.

[Verse 1]
AmI'm only days away
From givin' up this place.
I need a change of pace, a Fchange of Gways.
FSome days I don't Gfit in my own sAmkin.
AmI am uncomfortable
I guess 'cause, after all,
I'm just a carbon ball Fhousing a sGoul,
FJust getting by and Ggetting pretty good at Amsin.

GAnd every time I try to pray
   CA C/Bmemory gets Amin the way

FKeeps my demons Gone more day Amaway.
[Verse 2]
AmI just can't understand
What makes a man a man.
Is it his heart or maybe the Fheart in his Ghand?
FHow much he's changed, or Gmaybe it's how much he's the Amsame.
AmIf all this world's a tree,
I'm just a withered leaf.
I'll blow away, find me a Fnew place to Gbe,
FBut darlin', I hope you'll Glove me just the Amsame.
[Chorus]
GAnd every time I try to pray
   CA C/Bmemory gets Amin the way
FAnd I forget what it Gwas I was supposed to Amsay.
GHiding in my palisade,
    C  C/BWriting on a Amblank white page
FKeeps my demons Gone more day Amaway.

[Verse 1]

I'm only days away

From givin' up this place.

F G

I need a change of pace, a change of ways.

F G Am

Some days I don't fit in my own skin.

I am uncomfortable

I guess 'cause, after all,

F G

I'm just a carbon ball housing a soul,

F G Am

Just getting by and getting pretty good at sin.

[Chorus]

And every time I try to pray

C C/B Am

A memory gets in the way

F G Am

And I forget what it was I was supposed to say.

Hiding in my palisade,

C C/B Am

Writing on a blank white page

F G Am

Keeps my demons one more day away.

[Verse 2]

I just can't understand

What makes a man a man.

F G

Is it his heart or maybe the heart in his hand?

F G Am

How much he's changed, or maybe it's how much he's the same.

If all this world's a tree,

I'm just a withered leaf.

F G

I'll blow away, find me a new place to be,

F G Am

But darlin', I hope you'll love me just the same.

[Chorus]

And every time I try to pray

C C/B Am

A memory gets in the way

F G Am

And I forget what it was I was supposed to say.

Hiding in my palisade,

C C/B Am

Writing on a blank white page

F G Am

Keeps my demons one more day away.
