This is just a rough sketch, but it should allow you to approximate
both versions of this song.

Intro: G (4x)
Verse:
G Am C(2x)
Did I tell you, about the dark lonely road
G Am C D
I was counting my steps as I made my way home
G Am C(2x)
Days are nothing but time on your hands, weighing on me
D Am C
came to my end
D Am C
undecided
D Am C D(2x)
Whether to count what I felt against what I could say..
G D C D
I try not to wander, or to tell you that
G D C D G D
I'm not willing to wait when deep in my Heart I'm willing
C D G D C
D G(4x)
Hearts still willing, my brain's impatient my hearts still willing to
wait

Verse 2: Our love is, so important to me, starts wherever you land
walks right over to me. Days are nothing but time inbetween, obviously.
so unwary, or uncaring, I try not to be part of that and that's easy to
say but but I try not to wander...
(Guitar solo)
For the final verse, skip right to the pre-chorus part
Verse 3: There's a moment, to discover, no one can take all the blame
and it's finally clear I try not to wander...

That should get you started.
