I couldn't find any lyrics, let alone chords for this online, 
so I figured I'd do it all here.
Standard tuning, no capo. Not sure about the C#sus2 chord though - 
please comment with a suggestion if you find it weird too. 
Other than that I'm fairly certain this is 
spot-on perfect. This is my first tab/chord thing, 
so let me off for little innacurracies!
I did a guitar tutorial for this song on youtube, 
here's the link:

Repeat last chorus until you're dead from the awesome, then play:

E - A5

Good luck!
