The chords for this lovely song as played at several Flicker Sessions.
The following video shows the chords played very well especially in the later parts:

Here's a good tutorial video (not mine):

I have simplified some and adjusted a bit for ease of play and what I think sounds best playing this solo.
Don't be turned off by the "weird" chords if you're a beginner - Gadd11 and Fmaj7 are played like a
standard open C chord, except moving your fingers on the 2nd and 3rd fret one string up/down respectively,
which makes the transitions very easy. For C/G, put an additional finger on the 1st string 3rd fret.
For the intro, the last part of the chorus and the bridge(whenever you have the Am Gadd11 C F
chord sequence), you can use the following finger picking pattern:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-0h1---------3---------5---------5-------1---------1---------1---------1---------|
G|-------0---------0---------0---------0-------2---------2---------2---------2-----|
D|-----2---2-----0---0-----0---0-----0-------3---3-----3---3-----3---3-----3--(3)--|
A|-0-----------2---------3---------3-----------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------1---------1---------1---------1---------|
Intro
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
Verse 1
[C/G]
When you feel your love's been taken
[Em]
When you know there's something missing
[Am] [Gadd11] [Fmaj7]
In the dark, we're barely hangin' on
[C/G]
Then you rest your head upon my chest
[Em]
And you feel like there ain't nothing left
[Am] [Gadd11] [Fmaj7]
So I'm afraid that what we had is gone
Chorus
[F]
Then I think of the start
[C]
And it echoes a spark
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [Fmaj7]
And I remember the magic electricity
[F]
Then I look in my heart
[C]
There's a light in the dark
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [Fmaj7]
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
[Dm]
And I wanna keep
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
Please don't leave
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
Please don't leave
Verse 2
[C/G]
When you lay there and you're sleeping
[Em]
Hear the patterns of your breathing
[Am] [Gadd11] [Fmaj7]
And I tell you things you've never heard before
[C/G]
Asking questions to the ceiling
[Em]
Never knowing what you're thinking
[Am] [Gadd11] [Fmaj7]
'Cause I'm afraid that what we had is gone
Chorus
[F]
Then I think of the start
[C]
And it echoes a spark
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [Fmaj7]
And I remember the magic electricity
[F]
Then I look in my heart
[C]
There's a light in the dark
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [Fmaj7]
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
[Dm]
And I wanna keep
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
Please don't leave
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
Please don't leave
Bridge
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
And I want this to pass
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
And I hope this won't last
[Dm]
Last too long
Chorus
[F]
Then I think of the start
[C]
And it echoes a spark
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [Fmaj7]
And I remember the magic electricity
[F]
Then I look in my heart
[C]
There's a light in the dark
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [Fmaj7]
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
[Dm]
And I wanna keep
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
Please don't leave
[Am] [Gadd11] [C] [F]
Please don't leave
