*Note: the 'x' means mute note,
So in G/F# just press with you index finger the 6th string in 2nd fret,
and mute the 5th string
For the Dsus-D, just do a regular D [--0232] and press the 1st string with your pinky
in 3rd fret, then lift it up for a standard D

[Verse]
G G/F#
I walked across - an empty land
Am Dsus D
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
G G/F#
I felt the earth - beneath my feet
Am Dsus D
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Em Bm
Oh simple thing! Where have you gone?
C D
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
Em Bm
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
C D
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
G G/F#
I came across - a fallen tree
Am Dsus D
I felt the branches of it looking at me
G G/F#
Is this the place - we used to love?
Am Dsus D
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of…?
Em Bm
Oh simple thing! Where have you gone?
C D
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
Em Bm
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
C D
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
[Chorus]
Am G D
And if you have a minute why don't we go…
Am G D
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
Am G D
This could be the end of everything
C D G
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know?
[Bridge]

Enjoy, it's a really nice song, this version is in Ab, Keane plays it in A,
so for their version is capo 2.
This is the way I play it, but maybe Jason plays it without capo
1/2 step down (he usually does), you can try it, just change the chords:
EADGBe
G A
= [-02220]
G/F#Amaj7
= [-02120]
Am Bm
= [-24432]
DsusEsus022200

D E 022100

Em F#m244222

Bm C#m
= [-46654]
C D

Well, this what I got for Keane and Lifehouse, I hope this was be helpful to you.
