A few notes about these chords:
Carrie's finger picking seems to hover around Em and Em7.
You can alternate between them during basic strumming, anywhere I've written
Em.
In the chorus, the A-D-A progression is up for your interpretation.
I chose A-Dmaj7-Asus2 because it's especially easy to do on guitar, and I
like how it sounds.
But it could also be A7-D-A, or even just A-D-A if you like. Whatever works
best for you.

[Instrumental]
Em Em Em Em
[Verse 1]
Em Em
I'm writing you a letter on hotel letterhead
G A Em
A record of my restlessness before I go to bed
Em Em
On the other side of midnight, on the far side of the world
G A Em
I'm sending out a signal, hoping that you heard
[Chorus]
Em Em
I'm a stranger here, I'm only passing through
A Dmaj7 Asus2
But every place I go leaves its own tattoo
Em Em
That's how it is, layin' stone on stone
A Dmaj7 Asus2
Building little altars by the side of the road
[Instrumental]
Em Em
[Verse 2]
Em Em
I'm writing you a love note on the center of my palm
G A Em
Little circles and symbols for every day I've been gone
Em Em
It's all miracles and magic, it's as simple as that
G A Em
Pulling fishes and loaves like rabbits from a hat
[Chorus]
