the strumming pattern is for most of the song, but there are changes. it's easier to just listen haha. 
the song starts with palm muting the strumming pattern, and then a break, and then the actual tune begins. 
[Verse]
It was a difficuBlt decision
But every drop of water was a D#mlake, F#oh
And I guess I haBd a vision
Of every unavoidable miD#mstake, Eoh
Though I never had a Bwhite flag
I surrendered you my every vital D#msign, F#oh
But the thing about the Bheart is
It beats with no instruction from tD#mhe mind, Eoh
[Chorus]
You cC#mame into the kitchen and you laid me on the table lBike a meal
EI won't recover in a heartbeat
EYou could hammer a nail with the way I fBeel

You won't find us in the BiBble
But the story's parabolic at the D#mcoreF#  
I'm just singing this rBecital
In the hope that they might oD#mne day find a cureE  
And our bodily compoBnents
And everyone that knows them came from D#mstars, F#oh
But the thing about tBhe mind is
It has no consideration for the D#mheart, Eoh
[Chorus]

EI won't recover in a heartbeat
EYou could hammer a nail with the way I feBel
C#mAnd maybe I'm a naysayer 
And probably the best is yet to Bcome
EI will recover in a heartbeat
EI'll be born again with the morning sunB
