The verses are essentially the same as the intro, alternating between the two
shapes
with percussive slaps on the 2nd and 4th beat and raked arpeggiations:

This is the same throughout the entire song, except the very end which skips the
first
two chords in the chorus
When I go away I know we sleep alone
And cold together, far apart
And close my eyes and I can feel you there
Warm and easy in my heart
And I never want to hurt you
Never want to see you cry
I just want to be there
Darling when you start
I just want to be here darling when you start
I just want to be here darling
When you start to fly
Never leave you, couldn't stay away
You've been my best friend for a while
And couldn't leave you, couldn't live alone
I couldn't be without your smile
And I never want to leave you
Never want to say goodbye
Oh, I just want to be
There darling when you cry
I just to be there darling when you start
I just want to be there darling
When you start to fly
And I go away, the sun don't shine so warm
The people smile but not for me
And I go away the nights are twice as long
The wind blows lonely through the trees
And I never want to hurt you
Never want to say goodbye
And I only want to love
You darling when you start
I only want to be there
Darling when you start
I only want to be here lover
When you start to fly
And I go away I know we sleep alone
Alone and lonely and far apart
And close my eyes and I can feel you there
Warm and easy in my heart
And I never want to hurt you
Never want to see you cry
Oh I just want to be
There darling when you start
Just want to be there darling when you start
I just want to be there darling
When you start to fly
When I'm awake the sun don't shine so warm
The people smile but not for me
When I'm away the nights are twice as long
The wind blows lonely through the trees
And I never want to hurt you
Never want to see you cry
And I only want to be
There darling when you start
I only want to be here lover when you start
I only want to be there lover
When you start to fly
Couldn't leave you, couldn't stay away
You've been my best friend for a while
Just couldn't leave you, couldn't live alone
I wanted be without your smile
And I never want to hurt you
Never want to make you cry
I just want to be there
Darling when you start
I just want to be there
Darling when you start
I just want to be there
Darling when you start to fly
