Close. But your post helped me figure out exactly which chords the dude in THE ROOTS was doing in the video with Jimmy Fallon.

The chords are:

Code: 
C2 - 0203
Em - 0432
D  - 2220

Took a bit to figure out why it sounded like a C, but his hand positioning was really weird. But once I started playing along as C2, Em, D, Em, C2 along with the video, it's pretty much a match.
 
I can't figure it out but that C2 doesn't sound right to me.
 
It sounds right to me, but to each his own. But the dude from THE ROOTS hand positioning is really weird at a distance. Hmm...maybe he's slack-tuned?
 
I think the D and Em are correct. It looks like he's fretting something down on that 5th fret on the missing chord.
 
I think I'm getting closer to the chords that The Roots are playing.

I think these are the chords.

Emx = 043x
Em = 0432
Dx = x650 (though I think it's easier just to play D=2220)

Intro: [Emx] [Em] [Dx] [Em] [Emx] [Em] [Dx]

[Emx] I threw a wish in the [Em] well, [Dx] Don't ask me, I'll never [Em] tell
[Emx] I looked to you as it [Em] fell, [Dx] and now you're in my way
[Emx] I trade my soul for a [Em] wish, [Dx] pennies and dimes for a [Em] kiss
[Emx] I wasn't looking for [Em] this, [Dx] but now you're in my way

The complete lyrics are here.
