Hi there,
This is a great song but it was pretty hard to figure out the chords since it's played 
the piano, anyway maybe some parts are wrong but I think it sounds good

Standard tuning with capo on the 1st fret


A               D                 A
The streets are lined with camera crews
     E                D
Everywhere he goes is news
G        Cm
Today is different
G                Cm
Today is not the same
G                Cm
Today I make the action
     C        C*                                G
Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light (twice)
   C        C*       C
Im shooting into the light

F#m
Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
E
Driving into the sun
A    Asus4     A   Asus4
If I worked it out right
A    Asus4    A     Asus4
They wont see me or the gun
F#m
Two miles to go, theyre clearing the road
    E
The cheering has really begun
A    Asus4
Ive got my radio
A    Asus4     A  Asus4
I can hear whats going on


E        F#m
         Ive been waiting for this
         I have been waiting for this
         All you people in tv land
         I will wake up your empty shells
         Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
         As I burn into your memory cells
         cos Im alive

This part (I've been waiting for this...) can be played this way:

A--2--2--2--2--4-------2--2---------4-------|
E--0--0--0--0--2-------0--0---------2-------|

G                 F#m
Holding my breath
G                 F#m
Release the catch
G             A      C
And I let the bullet fly

G          D            Em
All turned quiet-i have been here before
C      D            G                   C
Lonely boy hiding behind the front door
                 D
Friends have all gone home
                         G
Theres my toy gun on the floor
              D   Em
Come back mum and dad
C             D
Youre growing apart
                 G             C
You know that Im growing up sad
              D
I need some attention
                 G
I shoot into the light
