This song is very easy to learn and play. The chords below are the ones I use. The
song is just made of pretty much Cadd9, G, Em and D.

G  320033
   D (xx0232@1)xx2233
   Em 022033
Cadd9 x32033

* Single strum
~ Fade out
Em (022000@1)                GOh, (320003@1)nowhere left to go
              Cadd9* Em*   Cadd9* Em*
Are we getting C-l-o-s-E-r? C-l-o-s-E-r?
Em (022000@1)                GNo, (320003@1)all we know is "No"
                  Cadd9* Em*   Cadd9* Em*
Nights are getting C-o-l-D-E-r, C-o-l-D-E-r

Cadd9 (x32030@1)                 GHey, (320003@1)tears all fall the same
Em (022000@1)            DWe (xx0232@1)all feel the rain
            ~
We can't change. . .

(I like to have the D fade out at 'change' and have a quick pause before I go to the chours)

Cadd9 (x32030@1)                   GEverywhere (320003@1)we go we're looking for the sun
Em (022000@1)                  DNo (xx0232@1)place to grow old, we're always on the run
                     Cadd9 (x32030@1)                     GThey (320003@1)say we'll rot in Hell, but I don't think we will
Em (022000@1)                       D (xx0232@1)           ~
They've branded us enough, "Outlaws of Love".

(Here, I like to fade out the D and then do another little pause before I start the next Verse)

Em (022000@1)               GScars (320003@1)make us who we are
                    Cadd9* Em*   Cadd9* Em*
Hearts and homes are B-r-o-k-E-n, B-r-o-k-E-n
Em (022000@1)                GFar, (320003@1)we could go so far
                 Cadd9* Em* Cadd9* Em*
With our minds wide o-p-e-n, o-p-e-n

Cadd9 (x32030@1)                 GHey, (320003@1)tears all fall the same
Em (022000@1)            DWe (xx0232@1)all feel the rain

We can't change...

(I like to play D till you start to play Cadd9, so I would play the D chord till 'go' 
when you would start to play Cadd9)

Cadd9 (x32030@1)                  GEverywhere (320003@1)we go we're looking for the sun
Em (022000@1)                  DNo (xx0232@1)place to grow old, we're always on the run
                     Cadd9 (x32030@1)                     GThey (320003@1)say we'll rot in Hell, but I don't think we will
Em (022000@1)                       DThey've (xx0232@1)branded us enough, "Outlaws of Love".

Cadd9 (x32030@1)   Gyeah (320003@1)yeah mmmmmmm
Em (022000@1)     D (xx0232@1)      ~
ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh...

(At this part he is saying Outlaws Of Love but more or less he's just humming it so I 
just put the oh's and mmm's there for reference.)

(I like to fade out the D at the end of the bridge)

Cadd9*                    G*
Everywhere we go we're looking for the sun
Em*                   D*
No place to grow old, we're always on the run
                     Cadd9 (x32030@1)                     GThey (320003@1)say we'll rot in Hell, but I don't think we will
Em (022000@1)                       DThey've (xx0232@1)branded us enough, "Outlaws of Love".

Cadd9 (x32030@1)    GOutlaws (320003@1)of Love
Em (022000@1)       DOutlaws (xx0232@1)of Love
Cadd9 (x32030@1)    GOutlaws (320003@1)of Love
Em*        D*~
Outlaws of Love

(I like to strum the D once and then let it fade out)

Note: When I say fade out, I like to fade it out for a few seconds and then I palm mute 
the strings till I play the next chord. At the last chorus when you strum the chords 
once till you start playing the chords regularly again, I like to do a little 
picking pattern. Here it is:

Cadd9 (x32030@1)         G (320003@1)          Em (022000@1)           De|------------3-------------3-------------3-------------3--------------------| (xx0232@1)B|---------3-------------3-------------3-------------3-----------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------2--------------------------|
D|------2---------------------------2----------2-----------------------------|
A|---3----------------2----------2-------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------3---------------------------------------------------------|

Then after you pick the chords, you would start playing the chords again as usual.
