Julia Nunes plays it in this video and it seems too easy:

All the other chords I can find are extremely complicated. I tried the search on here but all of the words are too short and therefore are not searched for! :( Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Found this version on Uke Songs and the shapes for some of the unusual chords. Give it a shot and see how it goes.

Beach Boys

Chords: Bm6 (1222) F#m6 (6656) A#m7-5 (1101) F#m6 (2324)

Intro:

[A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [F#m7]

[D] I may not [Bm6] always love you
[F#m] But [A] long as there [F#m6] are stars above you
[E] You never [Cdim] need to doubt it
[E] I'll make you so [A#m7-5] sure about it
[A] God only knows [E] what I'd be with[F#m7]out you

[D] If you should [Bm6] ever leave me
[F#m] Though [A] life would still [F#m6] go on believe me
[E] The world could show [Cdim] nothing to me
[E] So what good would [A#m7-5] living do me
[A] God only knows [E] what I'd be with[F#m7]out you

[A] God only knows [E] what I'd be with[F#m7]out you [E]

I'm partial to the scorpex version in F

A little confusing to work out because there are some unusual chords, but none of the transitions are very hard, two diminished chords and a B flat are the only four finger chords.
