Ok, first time effort here, but I thought the song was really catchy and  
decided to try and get it down for anyone interested.  As usual, this is  
just my interpretation -- this is what my ears heard, but they could always  
be wrong.  Also, I don't know the names for all the chords, so while the  
chords listed below are correct, the names might not be.  Those marked  
with a '?' use my own naming convention.

Chords used: 

A#m:   688666 
?A# Off:  666666 
A#:       688766 
F#:   244322 
C#:   446664 
?C# Off:  446644 
G#m:   466444 
G#:   466544 
D#:       668886 
?D# Off:  668866 
B:        224442 
B Off:    224422 
F:        133211 

I believe the electric guitar in the song is playing some of the chords  
higher, (especially the F# and C#), so transpose to your liking.   
As you can see above, most of the song is played near the middle of  
the guitar, so try to avoid playing low transpositions like A#m = [x13321].   
Here are some other suggestions that sound right, but could get painful if  
you're trying with an acoustic: 

F#: 9-9-11-11-11-9 
C#: 9-11-11-10-9-9 

Intro: 
------ 
A#m - ?A# Off 
(x 4)

-----------

4-------------------4----- 
6----6----4----6----6----- 
-----6----5----6----------
