I'm not 100% on these chords, but this just how I play it.
Lyrics from genius.com
Listening to the song while playing, as always, would probably be super helpful!
I usually pick the root note with my thumb
and use my other fingers to pluck the rest of the chord.

Chorus
[Cmaj7] [Dm]
I thought that I was dreaming
[Am] [Dm]
When you said you loved me
[Cmaj7]
It started from nothing
[Dm]
I had no chance to prepare
[Am] [Dm]
I couldn't see you coming
[Cmaj7]
It started from nothing
[Dm] [Am]
I could hate you now
[Dm]
It's quite alright to hate me now
[Cmaj7] [Dm]
When we both know that deep down
[Am] [Dm]
The feeling still deep down is good
Verse 1
[Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
If I could see through walls I could see you're faking
[Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
If you could see my thoughts you would see our faces
[Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F] [Dm]
Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then
[Cmaj7]
We didn't give a fuck back then
[Em]
I ain't a kid no more
[Dm] [Em]
We'll never be those kids again
[Cmaj7] [Dm]
We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then
[Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
Back then
[Cmaj7/G]
No matter what I did
[Bbmaj7/F] [Cmaj7/G]
My waves wouldn't dip back then
[Bbmaj7/F]
Everything sucked back then
[Dm]
We were friends
Chorus
[Cmaj7]
I thought that I was dreaming
[Cmaj7/A] [Dm]
When you said you loved me
[Cmaj7]
It started from nothing
[Dm]
I had no chance to prepare
[Cmaj7] [Dm]
I couldn't see you coming
[Cmaj7/G]
It started from nothing
[Bbmaj7/F]
I could hate you now
[Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
It's quite alright to hate me now
[Em/B] [C]
But we both know that deep down
[Em/B] [Am] [Dm]
The feeling still deep down is good
Verse 2
[Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
In the halls of your hotel
[Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
Arm around my shoulder so I could tell
[Em/B] [C] [Em/B] [Dm]
How much I meant to you...meant it sincere back then
[Em]
We had time to kill back then
[Cmaj7] [Dm]
You ain't a kid no more
[Am] [Dm]
We'll never be those kids again
[Cmaj7] [Dm]
It's not the same, ivory's illegal
[Am] [Dm]
Don't you remember?
[Cmaj7/G]
I broke your heart last week
[Bbmaj7/F] [Cmaj7/G]
You'll probably feel better by the weekend
[Bbmaj7/F]
Still remember, had you going crazy
[Cmaj7/G]
Scream my name
[Bbmaj7/F] [Em]
The feeling deep down is good
Chorus
[Cmaj7] [Dm]
I thought that I was dreaming
[Am] [Dm]
When you said you loved me
[Cmaj7]
It started from nothing
[Dm]
I had no chance to prepare
[Am] [Dm]
Couldn't see you coming
[Cmaj7/G]
And we started from nothing
[Bbmaj7/F] [Cmaj7/G]
I could hate you now
[Bbmaj7/F]
It's alright to hate me now
[Cmaj7] [Dm]
We both know that deep down
[Am] [Dm]
The feeling still deep down is good
Outro
[Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
All the things I didn't mean to say
[Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
I didn't mean to do
[Cmaj7] [Am]
There were things you didn't need to say
[Cmaj7] [Dm]
Didn't need to...need to
[Cmaj7/G]
I could dream all night,
[Bbmaj7/F] [Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
Dream all night
[Cmaj7/G]
I could drive all night
[Bbmaj7/F] [Cmaj7/G] [Bbmaj7/F]
Drive all night
[Cmaj7/G]
Dreaming, dreamin'
