This is 'Careless' by deadmau5. The timing in the intro is pretty hard to get a hang of, 
since the percussion is like 3/4 time and the chords are like 2/4?? (I have no clue lol)

Long story short: when it comes to the timing just listen to the song. 
When the vocal comes in the chords and percussion match up in 3/4 time. (like a waltz :D)

Standard tuning, no capo.
The chords in the intro just go three half steps lower every time. (if that's any help)

I hope it's accurate :)

Vocal part
------------------

Chords: F - Gm - Dm - Cm (play throughout) 

You're weak and you're gullible, and I don't care
You're a walking disaster, and I don't care
You cry yourself to sleep, and I don't care
You're wasting our time, and I don't care

You knew this day would come, and you did, and you really should have waited
Go cry yourself to sleep, and you should, because I'm so faded
You knew this day would come, and it did, and you really should have waited
Go cry yourself to sleep, and you should, because I'm so faded

You contradict everything, and I don't care
Your logic is twisted, and I don't care
I'll pretend to be happy, and I don't care
You cry yourself to sleep, and I don't care
You're weak and you're gullible, and I don't care
You're a walking disaster, and I don't care

You knew this day would come, and it did, and you should have waited
Go cry yourself to sleep, and you should, because I'm so faded
You knew this day would come, and it did, and you really should have waited
Go cry yourself to sleep, and you should, because I'm so faded
Go cry yourself to sleep, and you should, because I'm so faded
