Capo on the 4th fret.

Intro
The intro is strummed down, down, down up up. On the first up stroke, add the suspended
to the E chord. On the second up stroke, remove it. Play this three times, then a final
E chord on a down stroke to end the intro.

Verses
The names of these bar chords (without a capo) are written with the lyrics. Z plays them
bar chords off the E string, besides the B's. C#'s and F's next to which I wrote
With the capo, you'll finger them as G's, A's, and D's. The next verse is played the 
way.

C#              C
We were up all night
        B                 Bb
Talking trash and wasting time
        B                 Bb
When he says you're beautiful
          B(open) F(open)
It's not a line
           C#                C
But in the morning you might find
         B                     Bb
That he might have changed his mind
       Ebm          Bb
He got lonely for a love
             B(open) F(open)  C#(open)
For just one night

Bridge
These chords are written in the same way. Each is strummed 8 times (besides the last).

C#
You may say
    C
Why don't you realise
C#               Bb
I could give you everything
C#
But you see
   C                  C#
He can't be tied, contained
        Bb
or satisfied by all

C# (open)
you could bring

You can probably take it from there. If you don't think I got all of the chords right,
can watch a great video of The Like performing an acoustic version of this song on the
Stone's youtube channel, which is where I got them from. I'm not positive I got them 
though, so you may have to play around with them.
