Wow, a hit from Goo Goo dolls in standard tuning?! And GCD too? Chris got the idea
but a few of his chords were off so I changed them. Bridge seems good though.
I play Dsus4 using my thumb and like this

You can also mess with some of the other chords, like the C you can play 032000 during
the verse or the intro.
Capo 3 (all chords relative to capo position)
       EmGC
Intro:    x2
Verse:
     Em                G                C
When you came back I knew you'd have a story
     Em      G                C
You need someone to ease the pain of living life
Em              G             C
You're like a soldier in the fray seeking shelter
Em            G            C
From all the madness that you've seen, raining down now 
Chorus:
C   D           G
I know things change, your world has slipped away
C   D           Em
I know things change, you're living like a 
C        D              G
Soldier caught in the fray
       Dsus4      Em
Don't lose your faith
             C          D        Em
It's not so cold, it's not too late
EmGC

Verse:
     Em                       G          C
When you were naive you were so invincible
                   Em                        G               C
And you laughed at anyone and anything that ever got in your way
Em           G                 C
But now the mirror shows the change, and you don't see that
Em             G              C
You're sinking back into the crowd, an echo faded
Chorus
Bridge:
F#m                       D
And I never thought I'd see
                     Bm
You living on your knees
                   Abdim
A slave to some disease
That holds you captive
F#m                         D
And you can look inside of me
                          Bm
But the answers that you seek
                    Abdim
And everything you need
Is all inside you
           EmGC
Interlude:     x4
Chorus
