I recently went to his concert in Vancouver and noticed the simplicity of this song and 
thought I'd share
**He puts the capo on the fourth fret, but from the bottom so that the E string is left open.
They you just play 3 chords for the whole song: G, Am, C
The G is the only chord that uses the E string, for the Am and C you mute the E string
Then when he was playing the C chord in the verses, he would hammer on and off with his 
ring finger
For the Chorus he would hammer on and off with his middle finger.
The chords are nice and simple, its figuring out when to change chords that is the 
tricky part,
so just play along with the song and you'll figure it out
Capo on 4TH**
|Verse|
G              Am                  C
Say I don't look much like a lover
Doesn't mean that I won't try
G                Am    C
Set your world on fire, every once in awhile
G  Am                       C
We lie on the kitchen floor
                                G         Am         C
Hot air rises and it's going to be hot as hell here soon
We are going to need some relief
|Chorus|
G               Am                     C
Sick of leaving things half done leaving things half said
G               Am                      C
Sick of leaving things half done leaving things half said
Ohh
G    Am     C
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
G    Am     C
I am, I am trying
|Verse|
You can keep moving on like you do
The road goes as far as the eyes can see
I won't stand in your way
What's the good in that
And the flowers in their bed
Their drooping and dying and fading away
This weather's no good for growing things
Sick of leaving things half done leaving things half said
Sick of leaving things half done leaving things half said
Ohh
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
Will you keep moving on like you do
Will you keep moving on
So will you keep moving you on like you do
Ohh I am
I am trying
the best that I can
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
I am, I am trying
the best that I can
