It sounds as though Ryan mutes the A string at some points on the G and the little e string on the D,but it sounds fine either way.

Bm                          A
Let me go I'm only letting you down  
D                            G
I 've got nothing to say to you now  
Bm                                      A
I lose the feelings that are weighing me down  
                 D                  G
When I'm safe
   
Bm                                      A
It's turning morning all the birds sing  
D                                G
I'm not complicating anything  
Bm                                 A
I'll have another then I'll go to bed
           D                     G
But I'll dream of you
  
                  Bm
Cause it's almost over  
              Asus4
And it's almost gone
 
Chorus
                              D           G
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming  
Bm            A
Sweet confusion, honey  
D           G                     Bm     Asus4
Sweet illusion coming down

And I ain't got nothing but love for you now  
 
Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm D Asus4 
 
Bm                        A
You and I used to shine like a jewel
       D                                   G
But time's been nothing to us but cruel
Bm                                   A
So play it out and never play the fool
                      D                  G
Cause you'll lose every time  
 
Bm                                        A
We were nothing, we were only the past
D                        G
Hard times like that don't last  
Bm                                     A
I've been forgiven, I have been surpassed  
           D                         G
By my heart
Have you?  

                  Bm
Cause it's almost over
                Asus4 
Yeah it's almost gone  

                              D           G
And I can feel the sweet illusion coming  
Bm            A
Sweet confusion, oh
D           G                     Bm     Asus4
Sweet illusion coming down 
And I ain't got nothing but love for you  
 
Bridge 
Em         G              D
Love for you I can't use
        Em               G                           Asus4  
And lonely nights multiplied by the blues
                   Asus4  
That I can't resolve
 
note: very light picking on this verse 
Bm                                    A
You never knew me but I did my best  
D                       G
I'm just lonely inside I guess  
Bm                                          A
You gave me everything you really tried  
D                  G
Thanks 
 
Bm                                           A
If we were nothing and we're only the past  
D                                    G
Then I'm just living in a dream I guess  
   Bm                                 A                                           D
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you  
 
                  Bm
Where it's almost over
                  Asus4  
And we're almost gone

                              D           G 
And I can feel the sweet illusion coming  
Bm            A
Sweet confusion, honey  
D           G                     Bm
Sweet illusion coming down  

                               D          G
Well I can feel the sweet illusion coming  
Bm            A
Sweet confusion, honey  
D           G                     Bm    Asus4
Sweet illusion coming down 
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
