Great song by a great band with a strange name.  They deserve to get more recognition.
The chords are easy, but you can add a few notes to the transitions to spice it up a little.

G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)        Em (022000@1)I know that it's been said before,
    Am (x02210@1)              Cbut (x32010@1)not like this, or with these chords:
  G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)   Em (022000@1) 
I wish that I was someone else
   Am (x02210@1)             Cso (x32010@1)I could sit down with myself,
     G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)     Emand (022000@1)maybe I could help explain
      Am (x02210@1)           Cthese (x32010@1)crazy thoughts I entertain
 G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)        Emabout (022000@1)my life, and everything,

Am (x02210@1)             Cand (x32010@1)I'm starting to accept this.
   G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)      EmSo (022000@1)efforts now must be relentless
  Am (x02210@1)                       Cbecause (x32010@1)failure's leaving me so upset with
  G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)           Emmyself, (022000@1)but I swear this is all that I love;

               Em (022000@1)               GI (320003@1)can't wear a tie on my collared shirt,
              Am (x02210@1)               CI (x32010@1)can't get a job and just go to work.
