Great song by great band. Chord progression is pretty simple. Standard tuning. I'm 
pretty sure he uses barre chords for most of the time.
Intro/Verse:  A   D(use barre chords)
Chorus:  E   D   A(barres)
Bridge:  E   D   C#m(barres)
AEven though the Dlights have changed AI’m caught up in aDn endless loop
ADriving for Dten hours and then Aending up in the saDme place!
Can you hear a rumble under ground? can you hear the beat?
Someone pacing round and round in circles on the floor above
EBut we can still aDfford to not make sense at Aall
I see you wearing surgery rubber gloves, standing in the street
Early in the morning, still awake but barely on your feet
We can still afford to not make sense at all
We spend our time with drowning men
We’re going to let ourselves get dragged down
AAnd now we’re waiting
DAnd now we’re stranded
C#mAnd now we’re aching
EAnd now we’re all waiting…
Even though the lights have changed I’m caught up in an endless loop
We spend our time with drowning men
We’re going to let ourselves get dragged down

Driving for ten hours and then ending up in the same place!

But we can still afford to not make sense at all

I see you wearing surgery rubber gloves, standing in the street

Early in the morning, still awake but barely on your feet

We can still afford to not make sense at all

We spend our time with drowning men

We’re going to let ourselves get dragged down

And now we’re waiting

And now we’re stranded

C#m

And now we’re aching

And now we’re all waiting…

Even though the lights have changed I’m caught up in an endless loop

We spend our time with drowning men

We’re going to let ourselves get dragged down
