creds to Noah Lusk on Youtube, who found the chords for his fantastic cover
I'm still trying to figure out the best voicings myself, the A/C# is hard to make stand out
EDIT Sept 2021: Try a C# as an occasional bass note for transitions and play the A/C# as Em
For ex, move pinky up to C# from A6 and slide to Em shape (B, 5th string), 
[Verse]
A6Why don't you come A/C#home for the night?
You've been Dmaj9living too hard again
A6Kick your shoes off and A/C#replay the day in your headDmaj9  
January found a new A6wrench to tA/C#hrow at you
Dmaj9And you can't dodge every disaster
A6You get lipstick on your teethA/C#  
Dmaj9You get calluses on all your fingers
And you say
[Verse]
A6Itâs nothing liA/C#ke what I thought it would be
Dmaj9And I'm still under the water
A6This life has gotten A/C#the better of me
Dmaj9This year Ill have to be stronger
A6It's nothing like what A/C#I thought it would be
Dmaj9And I'm still under the water
A6This life has gotteA/C#n the better of me
Dmaj9This year I'll have to be stronger
A6Why don't you come A/C#home for the night?
You've been livDmaj9ing too hard again
