In the first verse the chords are played as power chords and are palm muted.
Two of the chords names I don't know.
They are unknown 1 (U1) and unknown 2 (U2).

C#5 - 0-2-0-x-x-x-------|
U1 - 0-9-0-x-x-x--------|
U2 - 0-11-0-x-x-x-------|
F#sus2/A# - 9-x-0-7-0-0-|

C#5
We're not the type

U1            U2
To go out and find others

C#5
Who are just like

U1          U2
The ones in our cupboard

C#5
We only see

U1      U2
What we read on the covers

C#5
We only bleed

U1           U2
If we're not seen by another

F#sus2/A# <--- this chord is strummed fully
If we're not see by another

The chords in the chorus are strummed fully.
One of these chords I don't know the name of.
It is unknown 3 (U3)

C#5 - 0-2-0-2-0-0-------|
F#add9 - 5-4-0-0-0-0----|
A#m7 - x-4-4-2-0-0------|
F#sus2/A# - 9-x-0-7-0-0-|
U3 - 7-x-0-6-0-0--------|

C#5
Stop looking down at the ground

F#add9
Pick it out of the clouds

A#m7
No one's gonna put you down

F#add9
Just let it out let it out

C#5
Stop looking down at the ground

F#add9
Pick it out of the clouds

A#m7
No ones gonna put you down

F#add9
Just get it all out now

F#sus2/A#            U3
Something's bound to change

2nd verse is the same as the first except the chords are played fully and are not palm muted.

Instead of 0-2-0-x-x-x you play 0-2-0-2-0-0----|
Instead of 0-9-0-x-x-x you play 0-9-0-9-0-0----|
instead of 0-11-0-x-x-x you play 0-11-0-11-0-0-|
Fsus2#/A# is still played as 9-x-0-7-0-0-------|

2nd chorus is the same as the first except without the F#sus2/A# on the end. Instead it 
goes straight into the bridge which is the same chords as the chorus.

finally you play the chorus twice more without the F#sus2/A# on the end.

Then that's the whole song. Any questions e-mail me @ jackanoryboy@hotmail.co.uk
