*Originally by Marcy Playground, covered by Allen Stone*
So i watched a video of Allen Stone performing this cover and this
is what i got from it. I'm 99% sure these are right. The whole
song is finger picked, i think the word is arpeggio. Just listen
to his cover and you'll get it. Chord positions aren't exact because
it's a pain to line them up, but the chord switches are clear in the cover. 
These are all barre chords by the way

I'm not sure about the names of these two chords, they're only used after the chorus:

Emaj7: xx2440 (pick the D, G, B, and high E strings respectively)
Asus4: x02230 (pick the D, G, B, and high E strings respectively)

Riff
