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.

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
