Here's a simplified version of the song, for people who like me who searched for a 
nice easy version and only found complicated tabs involving strange tunings and such.

This is also the first time I've posted any guitar tablature/chords online.

Try to mute the strings a bit.

D (xx0232@1)           A (x02220@1)       CI (x32010@1)can't get to sleep
                 G (320003@1)              DI (xx0232@1)think about the implications
                A (x02220@1)      COf (x32010@1)diving in too deep
                G (320003@1)               DAnd (xx0232@1)possibly the complications

A (x02220@1)       CEspecially (x32010@1)at night
            G (320003@1)            DI (xx0232@1)worry over situations
                 A (x02220@1)      CI (x32010@1)know I'll be alright
                    G (320003@1)           Bm9Perhaps (x2022x@1)it's just imagination

Asus4 (x02230@1) A (x02220@1)    Bm9Day (x2022x@1)after day it reappears
                               Asus4 (x02230@1)    ANight (x02220@1)after night my heartbeat shows the fear
F#sus    F# (244322@1)           G (320003@1)     Asus4Ghosts (x02230@1)appear and fade away
                  ACome (x02220@1)back another day...

That's about it. Just repeat for the other verses and choruses.

Also (if you're looking to be technical):

During the acoustic guitar solo he only plays the Bmin to Asus/A once before going 
to the F#sus, and completely cuts out the A (Come back another day). Just a note :D

The F#sus on "ghost appear" can just be played F# or f# minor. All sounds fine.
