OK, for this AMAZING song you need to use the capo on the 4th fret playing the normal
chords, but it will sound much MUCH better if you play the notes this way:

         E A D G B E

C      --x-3-2-0-1-0--|
Em     --0-2-2-0-0-0--|
F      --1-x-3-0-1-0--|
G      --3-2-0-0-0-0--|
G9sus4 --3-2-0-0-3-0--|

At least for the first verse, it is very important to play the chords THIS way:

E ---------------------------------------------------------|
B --------------------------------1-----1------------------|
G ----0------0------2-0----2-0----0-----0------2-0----2-0--|
D --2--2-2-2--2---2-----2-2-----3---3-3---3----------------|
A -3-3--3-3-3--3-2-2---2-2-2-----------------2------2------|
E -----------------------------1-1---1-1----3-3----3-3-----|

 Verse 2: (0:44)

if you don't know or care you'll be alright
i heard it's modern to be stupid
you don't need to talk to look good
i surprised myself as my mouth started speaking
there is nothing left of my nerves
as i lean over to ask her


 Chorus: (1:13)

(Repeat (*) during the chorus)

C		Em F G	
pardon the intrusion
C			 Em    F G
could we leave before it gets bad
C			Em       F G
i might smash up all these windows
C			  Em F G
and set fire to the curtains
F		       G				 F G
until it goes on and eats it with its blue and red orange
F			  G				     F G9sus4
until the fire burns and eats it with its blue and red orange


 [ Repeat Riff ] (1:59)

i might smash up all the windows
and set fire to the curtains
(play F G  F G  F G  F G9sus4 like the first chorus)
