I watched Jamie play this several times and asked him questions  
about how to play it so most of it should be correct. 
 
INTRO 
I'm not writing out the strumming pattern, just the chord changes 
but its pretty well constant up down strumming. 
 
the intro and verse is mainly the same chord with a different  
bass note. Just hold your index finger down on the 2's and use  
your middle finger to hit the G note.

then break back into the verse. Jamie played some funky chord though  
at the end 
when they sing 'no way around it', i pretty sure its: 
 
e---2------------------------------- 
b---5------------------------------- 
G---2------------------------------- 
D---0------------------------------- 
A---x------------------------------- 
E---3------------------------------- 
 
Keep strumming this until the song finshes.
