Quase certo.
O acorde G/F# soa fora do lugar durante toda a música.
G/F#
e]-2-- Deveria ser simplesmente: e]-3- (Não tenho certeza de qual acorde é este)
b]-0-- b]-3-
g]-0-- g]-0-
d]-0-- d]-0-
a]-2-- a]-0-
e]-2-- e]-2-
Além disso, no final do refrão onde você tem ...
Em C D
Poderia ser algo tão simples como
(G) C D G Cadd9 G
isso, algo tão simples como isso
O G que coloquei entre parênteses deveria ser um acorde de Em.

Mi menor Dó Ré Mi menor
Poderia ser algo tão simples como isso
Mi menor Lá menor
Deus sabe como eu poderia ter perdido
Dó Ré Sol Dóadd9 Sol
Algo tão simples como isso
Excelente tablatura.

First of all, amazing song! The lyrics are really relatable and down to earth, but with a twist.
Firstly, it's a story about a young guy searching for some meaning to his life. As the lyrics go on, we hear how he didn't find "it" in booze, pot, travelling, eastern religions, individualism and what not.
Through every chorus we get a hint that as of now, he's found "it", and is amazed by how simple an answer it is. In the end there's the twist, as the guy reveals that the "it" he found is another person.
"I've been falling crashing breaking
And all the while you were
Stood here waiting
For me girl"
In a split second the song about soul-searching turns into one of the most beautiful love songs I've heard in a long, long time.
