I worked this out ages ago, recorded my own version of it too.
it's a great song.

anyways it's extremely easy to play
I can't remember if it's played half a step down or not as I don't have my guitar 
with me right now. I think it might be.
but no capo.

chords that are picked throughout about 90% of the song are as follows:
it's simple to work out the picking method.

(Riff set 1)

e-x  e-x  e-x
B-3  B-3  B-3
G-0  G-0  G-0
D-x  D-x  D-x
A-x  A-x  A-3
E-3  E-0  E-x

pick these chords for this part:


There�s a kite caught in a tree
not far from here. It reminds me
of you and me and our desperate
love. Cause I can�t fly when you
smother me, but I�ll just fall to
the ground without you, and our
desperate love. 

right, now he mixes it up a bit, well, slightly.
it goes like this for the next section of lyrics.

(Riff set 2)

e----3-|      e----3-|      e----3-|
B-----3|      B-----3|      B-----3|
G------|\     G------|\     G------|\
D------|--x4  D------|--x4  D------|--x4
A------|/     A------|/     A-3-3--|/
E-3-3--|      E-0-0--|      E------|

You were the
saddest song, that I could sing.
You were a broken bridge dropping
a thousand feet. You�re my reason
to try be everything. You were a
starving child, on a TV screen.
You were the ship beneath a storm
mounting. You�re the broken hands
on a pianist. 

he plays a little bridge before going back to the first set of picked chords. it goes like this.

'You�re lost....'

(lets call this RIFF SET 3)

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

then back to Riff set 1 for these lyrics:


'And there�s a boy made of glass who
stays out the rain cause he�ll
slip and he�ll fall and he�ll
break and then he�ll be gone. But
there�s a girl made of concrete
who holds his hand. She knows just
want he wants, what he needs so he
wont go smash under her. 


Riff set 2 for the following:

You�re the only place, I really belong.
You�re the line I scream in my favourite song. 
You�re a mistake I made, that I won�t admit was one.
You�re a boiling day led out in the sun.
When we�re all happy, and we love everyone. You bring me
to think of what I�ll become cause I�m scared.

okay, this next bit was the only part that gave me hassle working it out.
but it's really easy. goes like this.
Note: it's easier to pick this part with your fingers first in the Am
postition then into the Dsus2 position for the second part.

Note +:

Dsus2:

e-0
B-3
G-2
D-0
A-x
E-x

anyways, cracking on, the middle 8 goes like this for the following lyrics:
it's mostly adapted by me, but it's simple enough to figure out how he plays it.

e------------|      e-0-----2-----0------|
B-1---1p0---0|      B----3-----3-----3---|
G--------2-0-|\     G--------------------|
D---------2--|--x2  D-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0|
A-0-0-0------|/     A--------------------|
E------------|      E--------------------|


'You just seem to know
me so well. And I cant remember
anything before, you came around.
It�s a joke to say I�d ever been
as happy but I am now. And you
just seem to know me so well.'

Riff set 1:

'You were beautiful when you fell
asleep, then you�d sit up awake
and you�d talk to me. Tell me
everything's going to be okay and
we�ll heal. You were a screaming
mess on a hospital bed. You were a
violent night thats ended in
death. You were a 100 feet of
emptiness ---'


'--- below.' 
it changes again here ever so slightly.
it goes to D before the strumming comes in.
note: this part is plucked.

e-2
B-3
G-2
D-0
A-x
E-x

there's a pull off on the D aswell, which you should be able to work out yourself.

right, for the last part, He strums these chords over again.

Am, G, Emsus2, D.

emsus2: (MOST COMMONLY USED CHORD EVER!)

e-3
B-3
G-0
D-2
A-2
E-0

          Am              
You're an accident in a roadside stare.
          G
You're a statue in a broken monument.
          Emsus2                                 D 
You're a microphone picking up everything that I say.
          Am
You're a little girl, trapped in an old deep well. 
              G
You�re a time long ago, when I could still
                        Emsus2
really feel like I was, still alive
                                         D
when I could still feel your hands on my skin. 
           Am                                           
You�re the cruellest thoughts, that I could never tell.
           G
You�re the waving hands of my hardest farewell.
          Emsus2                       D
You�re a daydream I won�t ever wake from.
Everything I hate, I love,I need.

Riff 1:
