Pretty basic song.  This is not exactly how Andy plays it, but these chords work 
You can mess around with some hammer-ons to sort of get the same kind of effect on the album. 
So tEhis is how it feels
ELean in to kiss the one that you love and she tuBrns a cheek
Let me tEell you how it feels
EWatching the walls of the house that you build start cruBmbling
Yeah you G#mfeel
Love is Apassing Eby
One more G#mtime
But you’re Anot surpF#rised
Yeah, Ewe’re all amateuBrs
And hG#meaven knows we’re not C#perfecBt
EWe try to get it rBight
We G#mkeep messing up but we’re C#learniBng
AWhen the day is Edone, oohBhh
