verse 2 is a little tricky, so I'd suggest listening to the song. Chords are pretty simple: Em, C, D, Bm, G.
I play it with a capo on the second fret. Standard tunings. Enjoy!  
Verse 1:
EmI’ve seen you there, 
I’ve seen you doing your thing in your own Cspace,
In your own Dtime, and that’s jusBmt fine
EmBut where do you go
And have you been somewhere lately where you’ve Cseen,
You’d be carefreDe, if not for Bmme 
Chorus
EmLook back to the Bmtime when our patChs first came togetherG  
EmGazing at a Dyellow Dutch Cmoon, do it sooBmn
EmRemember my face Bmand the pla-Cces it took yoGu
BmUnder a fadiDng Dutch mooEmn
Verse 2:
EmI felt you go, 
I felt you leaving behind all that we Chad,
In an Dinstant, you’re a firBmebrand, now I curse thEme moon,
Forever leading me gently by my Chand
Into your Dland
CBy my hand, into your Dland
CBy my hand, into your Dland
CBy my hand, into your Dland
