I saw them play this live in Liverpool, so I got the chords down, but there's some 
in the verses that i can't figure out yet. There's also a chord that I'm not sure of the name 
so i'll just name it as G, but the note on the B string is on the 1st fret instead of the third.


C                        G
  What it was, wasn?t my fault
                C
If I would have known, but,
               F
Who could have known?
                   C
The cameras and the kids
                    G
The candids and the kindling
                    F
We?re fighting them all
                C
They?ve done it again
             G
What do her friends say?
           F
Who was involved?
                C
I?ll call it all off.
                    G
Cause I should have known but,
                Em        F
Who could have known?
               Em         F
Who could have known?

C              G
The needles, the space.
                  Am
That time can?t erase
                  G
And buttoned down you?ll get the best of me.
C                  G
  The thrill of it all.
                 Am
The rise and the fall
                  G              C
And buttoned down you?ll get the best of me.


C                        G
  On the way back to the bank.
                  C
His head sinking low.
                F
He should have known.
                C
How hard did it come?
                G
When was it that you
           F
Lost your soul?
            C
What does it take?
             G
What did they make you?
               F
What do you know?
             C
Well we?ve done it again, again,
                         G
Again, now we?ll let you in but,
              Em         F
We should have known.
              Em         F
We should have known


C              G
The needles, the space.
                  Am
That time can?t erase
                  G
And buttoned down you?ll get the best of me.
C                  G
  The thrill of it all.
                 Am
The rise and the fall
                  G                        C
And buttoned down you?ll get the best of me.


G   Am                         G                      C
            Now buttoned down, you?ll get the best of me.
G  Am                  G            C
       Buttoned down, you?ll get the best of me.

That sounds pretty correct to me, so try it out
