Capo 5th fret, all chords relative to capo.

D5    XX0232
G5    320033
B5   X24432
A5    X02220

Note: It appears from the video that the guitarist leaves the root out of the Bm , so 
it's: XX4432.

The intro and verse are mostly palm-muted, then it opens up in the chorus.

Intro: D5

Verse:

D5               G5                    B5 A5
It's just a bad movie,

              B5 A5
Where there's no crying.

            D5   G5
Handing the key to me,

        B5  A5
In this red lion.


Chorus:

         G5               D5               G5                      B5 A5
When the breath that you breathed in the street screams there's no science.

         G5            D5              G5          B5    A5
When you look how you looked then to me, then I cease lying

                     G5 D5 G5 B5 A5
and fall into silence.


That's it! The timing of his vocals is a little strange, especially in the later 
choruses, so watch out for that.
