This is a beautiful song and, luckily, it's incredibly simple, just C/Am/F/G all the way through.
Not sure if the chords fit exactly with the studio version, but they work perfectly. 
Slap on a capo anywhere that makes you feel comfortable and enjoy!
CThere’s an empty field along the road
AmWhere all the rugged lovers go tFo play
At the end of thGe day
CIt’s full of holes and missing parts
AmPaper planes and broken hearts, you Fsee
Not a place I'd like to Gbe
But itC’s where I spend the night with you
AmWe’re rugged lovers through and through
YFou know, somewhere else that we can Ggo
Cause I need to get Cout of here
Don’t you kAmnow that it just ain’t riFght
GRugged lovers you and IC  Am  F  G  
CTake a pearl and drop it in the sea
AmMake a wish and pray that it comes Ftrue, for Gyou
LCet the feather fall into the hook
AmCast it out and take a look aroFund
See the sky is falling Gdown
Write a leCtter to the lonely ones
AmTrapped inside a loaded gun
You’ll fiFnd, it’s a matter of Gtime
Cause I’m Cso tired and I’m so borAmed that I could diFe
  GRugged lovers you and CIAm  F  
  GRugged lovers you and CIAm  F  G  
CThere’s an empty field along the road
AmWhere all the rugged lovers go to pFlay
At the end of thGe day

There’s an empty field along the road

Am F

Where all the rugged lovers go to play

At the end of the day

It’s full of holes and missing parts

Am F

Paper planes and broken hearts, you see

Not a place I'd like to be

But it’s where I spend the night with you

We’re rugged lovers through and through

F G

You know, somewhere else that we can go

Cause I need to get out of here

Am F

Don’t you know that it just ain’t right

G C Am F G

Rugged lovers you and I

Take a pearl and drop it in the sea

Am F G

Make a wish and pray that it comes true, for you

Let the feather fall into the hook

Am F

Cast it out and take a look around

See the sky is falling down

Write a letter to the lonely ones

Trapped inside a loaded gun

F G

You’ll find, it’s a matter of time

C Am F

Cause I’m so tired and I’m so bored that I could die

G C Am F

Rugged lovers you and I

G C Am F G

Rugged lovers you and I

There’s an empty field along the road

Am F

Where all the rugged lovers go to play

At the end of the day
