For the C chord, you play the strumming pattern (D D U D U) 3 times normally but at the end of the third time
you lift your index finger and place your pinky on the 3rd fret of the 1st string (D U D U D) then switch to
having your index finger on the 1st fret of the 1st string (U U D) then removing it and playing a C without
the index finger (one strum up then continue with the next chord). The F and G are regular. Sounds complicated
just listen to the song a few times and you'll get it.
Also, you can play this on capo 3 as well. I find it sounds just as nice and works better for some people.
The C is played like this:

Cyou can’t be by yourself
Cyou can’t be by yourself

Fin a room with nothing sharp 
until Gyou were well 
Cyou told me that you were so

Flove is using your first name 
in the Gpoems that I wrote 
Cfollow me to a home 
Cabandoned at the shore 
Fthere’s a story on the walls 
Fwritten in marker across the halls 
that Gyou’ll adore 
Cand no one can see us now 
Clike the sun behind the clouds 
Flets grab a drink for lunch 
Fand wash out the taste of blood 
from our Gguilty mouths 
Fwhen you stepped into the light 
FI saw it running down your thighs 
and thought Gwhat a beautiful sight 
to see you aliveC

[Intro]

C x2

[Verse]

you can’t be by yourself

they kept you in the dark

in a room with nothing sharp

until you were well

you told me that you were so

scared of what they know

but love isn’t afraid

love is using your first name

in the poems that I wrote

follow me to a home

abandoned at the shore

there’s a story on the walls

written in marker across the halls

that you’ll adore

and no one can see us now

like the sun behind the clouds

lets grab a drink for lunch

and wash out the taste of blood

from our guilty mouths

when you stepped into the light

I saw it running down your thighs

and thought what a beautiful sight

to see you alive
