It helps to listen to the bassline to get the verses. In 6/8 the rhythm is:
|1 2 3 4 5 6 |1 2 3 4 5 6 |1 2 3 4 5 6 |1 2 3 4 5 6 |
|D D |D A |Bm Bm |Bm G |
This is how I like to play it, if it's helpful for anyone!

Who are you when the lights go out? You got me wondering

How did you go from a face in the crowd to all I'm thinking about?

Sitting here on the ninth cloud, floating around

Just a thought 'til I said it out loud, who are you when the lights go out?
[Chorus 1]

In the deep, where the edges don't lie

You and me, fading into each other
Em G
And it makes me wonder

Would you tug at the hem of my sleeve, kiss me while we're countin' down?

On screen, in an ocean of color

And it makes me wonder, it makes me wonder
