      The main parts of the song jump between two/three chords, but the chorus plays a few different notes...

Using Jack in Water's live recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rey-BbfyrLI), I came up with this!

[Verse 1]
       C*
If somebody was to write us down
          G*
We’d be a brightly coloured novel

Filled with pictures and with sound
                C*
Whether it be a hard back or a soft back
                   G*
We’d be definitely bound with heart

[Verse 2]
            C*
And if Shakespeare was our narrator

He would have to make up words
      G*
All adjectives and similes 
                                    C*         G*
That had never before been heard by humans, by humans

[Verse 3]
          C*
A love story bound by happiness

An adventure in the clouds
            G*
Filled with rhyming verse and speaking birds

A story about how
    C*
Two humans fall together

Through a sequence of events
    G*
And one of them is selfless and the other makes the bed
       C*                                                   G*
They encompass all the sonnets, their a reason to fear death

[Chorus 1]
           G
Either the gods all adore us
           Am7
They shoot happiness from above
        C*
I guess rather than wonder
          C             G           
We should probably just fall in love

[Break]
C* C* C* C*(C/G) G* G* G* G*(C/G)

[Verse 4]
           C*
And if our story was a film 

It would definitely be
         G*
A film directed by Tim Burton

With magic and mystery
             1*
We'd be that bit in the English patient

Where Ralph is brought down to his knees
           G*
Or a whole list of happy endings
                                        C*      G*
But this ones endless and its free, for us to decide

[Verse 5]
           C*
We’d be an independent love film

We’d be critically acclaimed
            G*
It would be happy and be awkward

With no sad twist at the end
     C*
A montage of adventures

Between a boy and between a girl
          G*
We'd meet mythical dark creatures
                                 C*             G*
Travel all around the world, whenever we wanted to

[Chorus 2]
           G
Either the gods all adore us
           Am7
They shoot happiness from above
        C*
I guess rather than wonder
          C             G
We should probably just fall...
        C*
I guess rather than wonder
          C             G
We should probably just fall...
        C*
I guess rather than wonder
          C             G          C
We should probably just fall in love
