If you want to play the descending basenotes in the chorus,
(which are a lot easier on the piano), it's something like this:
with emphasis on the D string, then A string the next 3 notes,
on the words "wake" "every" "day" and "hoping."
If you play with the capo on 7th, emphasize the same words,
but the E string the first 3 notes, then the D string the last.

So the story goes on down
The less-traveled road
It’s a variation on the one I was told
And although it’s not the same
()
It’s awful close, yeah
In an ordinary fairytale land
There’s a promise of a perfect happy end
And I imagine having just short of that
Is better than nothing
So you’ll be mine forever and almost always
And I’ll be fine; just love me when you can, yeah
And I’ll wait patiently
I’ll wake up every day just hoping that
x2
You still care
In the corner of my mind
I know too well
Oh, that surely even
I deserve the best
But instead of leaving
I just put the issue to bed
And out of my head
And just when I believe
You’ve changed for good
Well, you go and prove me wrong
Just like I knew you would
When I run out of second chances
You give me that look
And you’re off the hook
Because you’re mine forever and almost always
Oh and I’m fine, just love me when you can, yeah
And I’ll wait patiently
I’ll wake up every day just hoping that
You still care
Oh, oh
What am I still doing here?
Oh, oh
It’s all becoming so clear
You’ll be mine forever and almost always
It ain’t right to just love me when you can, oh
I won’t wait patiently
Or wake up every day just hoping that
You’ll still care
Forever and almost always
No, it ain’t right to just love me when you can, baby
Ain’t gonna wait patiently
I won't wake up every day just hoping that
x4
You still care
