If you want to play the descending basenotes in the chorus,
(which are a lot easier on the piano), it's something like this:
with emphasis on the D string, then A string the next 3 notes,
on the words "wake" "every" "day" and "hoping."
If you play with the capo on 7th, emphasize the same words,
but the E string the first 3 notes, then the D string the last.

D G
So the story goes on down
A D
The less-traveled road
G A Bm
It's a variation on the one I was told
G A
And although it's not the same
Em G (A)
It's awful close, yeah
D G A D
In an ordinary fairytale land
G A Bm
There's a promise of a perfect happy end
G A Em
And I imagine having just short of that

Is better than nothing
D A Bm G
So you'll be mine forever and almost always
D A G A
And I'll be fine; just love me when you can, yeah
G A
And I'll wait patiently

I know too well

I deserve the best
But instead of leaving
G A Em
I just put the issue to bed
G A
And out of my head

And just when I believe

You've changed for good
D G
Well, you go and prove me wrong
A
Just like I knew you would
Bm G
When I run out of second chances
A Em
You give me that look
A
And you're off the hook
D A Bm G
Because you're mine forever and almost always
D A G A
Oh and I'm fine, just love me when you can, yeah

G A Em
Oh, oh
C D A

D A Bm G
You'll be mine forever and almost always

You still care
