A great, catchy song, with excellent vocal rhythms for such a wordy song.  
In the verse, the third chord is marked "A", but when playing it, add in  
Asus4 and Asus2 as well - easily done: 
 
    A  Asus4  Asus2   Dmaj7 
e---0---0-------0-------3-- 
b---2---3-------0-------3-- 
g---2---2-------2-------3-- 
d---2---2-------2-------0-- 
a---0---0-------0-------x-- 
e---x---x-------x-------x--
