Lovely song with a simple chord progression. The Ebsus2/G is just a different voicing of
Ebmaj9.
Listen to the original to get the timing down. Enjoy!

I lost my phone and...
[Bbm7] [Ebsus2/G] [Gbmaj9]
I'm calling you from the hotel phone
[Ebm11]
I couldn't get a flight back to the States
[Bbm7] [Ebsus2/G] [Gbmaj9] [Ebm11] [Bbm7] [Ebsus2/G]

... Last time I was here, we were together, remember?
[Ebm11]
I tried to tell you
[Bbm7] [Ebsus2/G]
How I felt
[Gbmaj9]
I...
[Ebm11]
Then you stopped me, you were...
[Bbm7] [Ebsus2/G] [Gbmaj9] [Ebm11]
Then you said, "Don't ruin it"
[Bbm7] [Ebsus2/G] [Gbmaj9] [Ebm11]
