The first half of the second verse is actually N.C. but I added the chords to where they would go otherwise. 
[Intro]
A    Bm    E    D C#m

ANever, was afBmraid of death
Now you gEot me stressing about every Dsingle C#mbreath
When Alife is too good Bmto be true
Makes you sEkeptical of what you're Dabout to C#mlose
See now Aheaven, has got nothBming on us
Oh, I Elove you even when my body tDurns to C#mdust
AMy heart, slowly Bmbeats for you
                                   EN.C.
Drummer boy, you made me feel every single hue
[Pre-Chorus]
  AYou saved,    Bmmy soul
   ETurned a broken girl, Dinto C#mwhole 
  AAnd I thank,    Bmthe day
    EThat led you,   Dmy C#mway
[Chorus]
ATaking me higher F#m7than the clouds go
ELooking down at the world Dfar bC#melow
ANo matter how far our F#m7feet may roam
ENext to you, is where I Dcall  C#mhome
[Post-Chorus]
AWhat did I do?
    F#mTo deserve you

So I Astay far, on my Bmown island
ENever dare to let anybDody C#min
Then Ayou came and turned my Bmworld around
For the Efirst time, I was writing Dhappy C#msounds
You are Abrighter than you'll Bmever know
Make the Esun appear to have a much dDuller gC#mlow
[Pre-Chorus]

Never dare to let anybody in

For the first time, I was writing happy sounds

You are brighter than you'll ever know

Make the sun appear to have a much duller glow
