Not sure if D12 is an accurate label for the chord as I could not 
identify the chord name (Dadd2add4/A?) but this is how Dallas Green plays it exactly.

Em
  Sorrowing man
D12                     
  Look how warn you've become
Em                                D12
  You once were lord of the barren sea
Em
  There's blood on our hands
D12
  In this perfect madness
Em                           D12
  We're living on borrowed time


On the first three chord changes (generally)

G |-----0---------------------------------------0---------------------------|
D |-----2—0h2p0---------------------------------4---------------------------|
A |-----2------------0--------------------------5/7-------------------------|
E|------0---------------3-----------------------5---------------------------|

Chorus:

Em  G  D12     Asus      C
Oh how you have lost your way,
Em  G  D12     Asus      C
Oh how you have lost your way


The variation on the C chord on the studio track is just a pull off on the 1st fret,
acoustically, Dallas Green tends to pull off on the A string as well.

 

Verse 2:

Em
  There's no sympathy
D12
  cause we don't know the cure
EM
  Cause what you've got
                 D12
   it runs too pure
Em
   But you've lived and breathed
D12
   More than any man I know
Em
   But you're not done
                   D12
Oh at least I hope


Chorus:

Em  G  D12     Asus      C
Oh how you have lost your way,
Em  G  D12     Asus      C
Oh how you have lost your way
Em      G    D12    Asus     C
In this life we have made together
Em  G  D12     Asus      C
Oh how you have lost your way,
Em  G  D12     Asus      C
Oh how you have lost your way
Em  G  D12     Asus      C
Oh how you have lost your way,


The outro is just the verse riff repeated, Enjoy.
