Parking Lot by Sara Bareilles
Standard Tuning, No Capo
Writing the chords out to the lyrics doesn't really work with this one, but the progression
is pretty well the same as the intro throughout (I tried anyway).
You'll likely have to give the song a listen to figure it out. Just focus on the piano in the background.
