Attempt to capture chords from a live performance in Paris on 02 April 2023:

For the most part it sounds as though he's avoiding the high E string (although he does seem to add his
pinky on fret 3 of the high E for a few of the Fsus2 chords). So, as I am trying to figure this
one out, I am playing the Fsus2 chords like an Fmaj7sus2. Where I have listed Fsus2*, it sounds like he 
hammers from an Fsus2 to F then lifts the middle finger to an Fsus2 again. He does that twice for each F*.

The C/G chords in the verse are quick passing chords between the G and the Fsus2.

In the first 3 lines of the outro he is just plucking the chord once emphasizing the bass note.

For the "waves won't break my boat" lines, it sounds like this is basically what he is playing:

Verse 1
Am7                 G     C/G Fsus2                     Fsus2
  I came in for the embers,        I stayed out for the breeze
          Am7                 G      C/G Fsus2
I need to feel, elements to remind me         there's beauty when it's bleak
Am7            G                  C/G  Fsus2          Fsus2
  I struck out long before lights down,     when do I breathe?

Chorus
     Fsus2
Oh I know,
    Fsus2*      C        G           Fsus2
The more that I love the less that I feel
    Fsus2*       C       G         Fsus2
The times that I jumped never were real
     Fsus2*       C          G          Fsus2
They say that all scars will heal but I know
Am7   G       F
  Oh, maybe I won't
        C     C/D   C/E   Gsus4 Fsus2
But the waves won't break my    boat
        C     C/D   C/E   Gsus4 Fsus2
But the waves won't break my    boat

Verse 2
Am7                   G        C/G Fsus2                          Fsus2
  Storms crash on the boardwalk         the wind rush through the trees
               Am7
I keep my eyes peeled
                    G         C/G Fsus2                      Fsus2
The memories always fall short,        of what we could have been
Am7        G                C/G  Fsus2          Fsus2
  Left out long before last call,     what do I need?


Chorus
     Fsus2
Oh I know,
    Fsus2*      C        G           Fsus2
The more that I love the less that I feel
    Fsus2*       C       G         Fsus2
The times that I jumped never were real
     Fsus2*       C          G          Fsus2
They say that all scars will heal but I know
Am7   G       Fsus2
  Oh, maybe I won't
        C     C/D   C/E   Gsus4 Fsus2
But the waves won't break my    boat
        C     C/D   C/E   Gsus4 Fsus2
But the waves won't break my    boat

But the waves won't break my    boat

Outro
Fsus2             C        G           Fsus2
  The more that I love the less that I feel
                 C       G         Fsus2
The times that I jumped never were real
                  C          G          Fsus2
They say that all scars will heal but I know
Am7   G       Fsus2
  Oh, maybe I wont
        C     C/D   C/E   Gsus4 Fsus2
