This is my interpretation of it...it's kind of just a capo'd version but the intro
plucky bit is different. Sounds exactly the same as the one in Version 1 but it's easier :)
And I highly doubt this is how MT actually plays it but it works for me!
GO MARIANAS TRENCH AND GO CANADA :D

When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
When it's in your spine like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
(Oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ooh, oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ooh)
C G
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
Am F
And I will hide you when it gets too much
C G
I'll be right beside you
Am G
I'll be right beside you
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/marianas_trench/beside_you_crd_ver_7.html ]
(Play Intro/Verse again)
When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
When the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they've never been so loud
C G
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
Am F
And I will hide you when it gets too much
C G
I'll be right beside you
Am G
I'll be right beside you
C G
I will stay
Am F
Nobody will break you
C
Trust in me, trust in me
G
Don't pull away
Am
Trust in me, trust in me
F
I'm just trying to keep this together
'Cause I could do worse and you could do better
