All you do is play  G   D   Emthroughout.
At the end of the chorus, "Is how good you are to me", it sounds like there's a 
different chord. Maybe Am7. But you can just play the Em and go back to G and it sounds fine.
Lyrics:
GWhen everything's said and Ddone
Your Emall I really have
In the Gmidst of these setting Dsuns
The Emcity lights at best
Are Gportraits of my Dfriends
But Emthey don't make amends
For this ridiculous GmessD  Em  
GSo I will Dfloat on
EmEvery word you said
When the Gwater of my Dghosts
They Emrise above my head
And I will Gstand up on your Dback
In the Emmiddle of this sea
When colGlectors of my Ddebts
They Emcome to sink their teeth
And its Gall I can Dthink about Emnow
Is how good you are to meG  D  Em  
[chords same as first part:
This body is a hole
My flesh one shallow grave
I am six feet below myself
And at my best
I still deserve to die
But I'll be glorified
In this ridiculous mess
So I will float on
Every word you said
When the water of my ghosts
They rise above my head
And I will stand up on your back
In the middle of this sea
When collectors of my debts
They come to sink there teeth
And its all I can think about now
Is how good you are to me
