The little variation you can hear in the intro and 
throughout the song  on the Cadd9 and Cadd9/B chords 
is just lifting your little finger on and off the high E 
string in time 

Capo 3rd fret

Intro (picked first time through, then strummed): 

Cadd9 Cadd9/B A7Sus4 G x2

Verse:
Cadd9     
I handed him a paper
Cadd9/B
Thick white lines of vapour
A7Sus4                       G
Will get that message through
Cadd9
He climbs into his airplane
Cadd9/B
Speeds off from the start lane
A7Sus4               G
The praise is overdue

Chorus:
Em7        
Above this town from side to side
Cadd9
The letters spreads out open wide
G                                 G/f#
Hope she sees the writer in the sky
Em7
But maybe it's a mindless plea
Cadd9
My place on her scale is make believe
G                                G/f#
I guess I've always been a bit naïve

[Play intro through x1)

Verse:
The pilot makes a last spin
Heads off, disappearing
Into the blue and gray
The job for now is over
Feeling fairly sober
Although it's Saturday

Chorus:
The loneliness is such a weight
So sick of love he's paid to state
Humming Time Has Told Me by Nick Drake
Feels much too ashamed to say
Like vapour trails his heart turns gray
So afraid he too might fade away 

Outro: Just repeat the chorus chords and end on Em7
