The whole song is just Em C G D. If you just go with the song, it should be really easy to follow.
The original vocals are off-beat, so some Em-chords would actually belong to the previous line to fit 
the beat (which makes it, in my opinion, a lot harder to follow).
Consider using these versions of chords. They sound better in my opinion:
(all relative to capo)
 Em- 022033
  G- 320033
(   C- x32033, possible variation, does not always sound that good )
[Verse]
EmFlower child, she's not the Cone you're chasing
She's the Gone who's caught in outer spaceD  
Held dEmown by tinsel thread and Cchain out of leather
To Gmake her go the other wayD  
EmHer mama cries, just a Cwound on a baby
Getting Golder every step she takesD  
Cause Emnow, she knows it's just a Cworld for her taking
And Gsomething's drawing her awayD  
[Bridge]
EmAnd if you start feeling Cweak, turn yourself aroundG  
Force the weather to foDllow
EmFind an empty Cstreet and kneel downG  
                     (this D is skipped)
Let it take your sorrows
[Chorus]
EmTell me how much Cstrength and honestyG  
You ought to be Dsending my way
EmTil I forCgive you simplyG  
And keep going awDay
EmTell me how much Cstrength and empathyG  
You ought to be Dsending my way
EmTil I forCgive who you wanna beG  
And keep going awDay
[Interlude]
Em C  G  D
2x
[Verse]
EmIn the valley she's a Cdaughter who's taken
To Gnever making a mistakeD  
And Emvowed to save all of her Crisky behaviour
To Gpouring over on a pageD  
EmShe's got a little book - it's Csafe in her pocket
She Gwrites a little every dayD  
On Emhow she really wants to Ccry, learn a lesson
    G                           D (strum short)
And feel a little for a change
[Bridge]
EmAnd if you start feeling Cweak, turn yourself aroundG  
Force the weather to foDllow
EmFind an empty Cstreet and kneel downG  
                     (this D is skipped)
Let it take your sorrows
[Chorus]
EmTell me how much Cstrength and honestyG  
You ought to be Dsending my way
EmTil I forCgive you simplyG  
And keep going awDay
EmTell me how much Cstrength and empathyG  
You ought to be Dsending my way
EmTil I forCgive who you wanna beG  
And keep going awDay
[Interlude]
Em C  G  D

[Outro]
EmI'm not running away Cbut i can't Gtake it anymoDre, I'm sorry.
EmI'm not running away Cbut i can't Gstay here anymoDre, I'm sorry.
EmI'm not running away Cbut i can't Gstay here anymoDre, I'm sorry.
EmI'm not running away Cbut i can't Gtake it anymoDre.
