Okay, the song consists of a riff over the verses and then
a simple chord progression for the chorus. Here's the riff:

-------------------------------------------
------3---------3---------3----------------
----0---0-----0---0-----0---0-----0--------
----------0---------0---------0---------0--
--0---------2---------3-------------0h2----
--------------------------------3----------

--------------------------3----------------
------3---------3-----------0--------------
----0---0-----0---0-----0-----0---0--------
----------0---------0-------------------0--
--0---------2---------3-------------0h2----
--------------------------------3----------

it's basically a C chord with a walking bass note.
Play the riff over the verses.

[verse]
we sing the the nightingale song alive
streets never border further than my sight
we sing the nightingale song alive
we might be different but our hearts won't lie

[chorus]
F
And little ever changes
Am
If anything at all
D C G
But the song sings loudly through these halls

[verse]
we sing the nightingale song alive
we might be different but our hearts won't lie

[chorus]
F
And little ever changes when you
Am
View it from the sky
D
The damage we encounter
C G
The earth just passes by
F
And little ever changes
Am
If anything at all
D C G
And we remind ourselves how small we are


Play G with walking bass like intro
