I'm a bit fuzzy on the second frase on the second verse (lyricly), and on the outro (chords.
please forgive any mistakes on the lyrics, I couldn't find them anywhere.
I recommend when you are playing the verses, to hammer on from the 0 to 3 in the 5th string while 
playing the
Cadd9 chord and from 0 to 2 in the 5th string while playing the Em7 chord.
So here it is.
Standard Tunning, Capo 2 fret
