Here's a simplified version of the song, for people who like me who searched for a 
nice easy version and only found complicated tabs involving strange tunings and such.

This is also the first time I've posted any guitar tablature/chords online.

Try to mute the strings a bit.

D             A         C
I can't get to sleep
                 G                D
I think about the implications
                A        C
Of diving in too deep
                G                 D
And possibly the complications

             A         C
Especially at night
            G              D
I worry over situations
                 A        C
I know I'll be alright
                    G             Bm9
Perhaps it's just imagination

                    Asus4   A      Bm9
Day after day it reappears
                               Asus4      A
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
F#sus    F#             G       Asus4
Ghosts appear and fade away
                  A
Come back another day...


That's about it. Just repeat for the other verses and choruses.


Also (if you're looking to be technical):

During the acoustic guitar solo he only plays the Bmin to Asus/A once before going 
to the F#sus, and completely cuts out the A (Come back another day). Just a note :D

The F#sus on "ghost appear" can just be played F# or f# minor. All sounds fine.
