In my version of this Jack Johnson, I use a capo instead of tuning to B, the sound 
exactly alike and you can even play along to the song. :)
Capo 4th Fret.

 Last chord of the 1st measure gets played for 2 beats. 
Each chord get 2 strokes.
(except for the last of the 1st measure) <---- If that's too confusing listen to 
the song. (You'll understand (: )
Tip: Make an open position C-Chord shape, 
take of your 1st finger, and use your pinky 
reach high notes. (2nd measure)
Tip 2: To avoid changing positions use
fingers 2, 3, 4 to make the G-Chord  
Tip 3: When playing the 3rd measure 
(the part that starts with D) reach
your pinky to play the 2--4--2 on the 
G-String.
 After each D, you can play this.

[Verse 1]
           C                          G
Back when all my little goals seemed so important
  C                                  G
Every pot of gold fill and full of distortion
 C                                   G
Heaven was a place still in space not in motion
[Chorus]
              D
But soon
          C
I got you
         G
I got everything
              C
I’ve got you
              G
I don’t need nothing
                  C
More than you
         G
I got everything
               D
I’ve got you
[Verse 2]
              C
We went walking through the hills
              G
Tryin’ to pretend that we both know
 C
Maybe if we save up
             G
We can build a little home
       C
But then the hell storm came and yelled, 
  G                                               D
“You need to let go, you’ve got no control. No.”
[Chorus]
          C
I got you
         G
I got everything
             C
I’ve got you
            G
I don’t need nothing
                 C
More than you
         G
I got everything
            D
I’ve got you
[Bridge]
           Em                     G
This weight’s too much alone
          Em                          G
Some days I can't hold it at all
       Em                G
You take it on for me
           A7
When tomorrow’s too much
      C
I’ll carry it all
             G
I’ve got you
        A7
And when tomorrow’s too much
     C
I’ll carry it all
         G
I got you
[Chorus]
         C
I got you
         G
I got everything
             C
I’ve got you
            G
I don’t need nothing
                C
More than you
         G
I got everything
             D
I’ve got you
