It's kindof hard to tell if he's doing fancier chords than what I'm hearing
because of the voices constantly over top of the guitar. But this is what I 
play when I'm singing it so hopefully it's at least a start.
1,2,3 and 
         C          G         AmX2
(Do do do do do do... etc)
    CI heard the wiGngs beat on the winAmd tonight 
    CAs the heat Gstole power from the Amdarkening light. 
    FI saw the sGtreets fill up with Cpeople that I knewF, 
    FPeople who Glooked like you. 
    AmRise if you're sleeFping, stay awakeAm  
    We Amare young superFnovas and the Amheat's about to break
    CDrift through the Gstreets, Amwalk between the cars
    CNewborn sons and Gdaughters spat Amforth from distant stars
    FThe summer will reGveal itself to Cthose whose hearts are trueF  
    FAnd to the faithGless few
    AmRise if you're sleeFping, stay awakeAm  
    We Amare young superFnovas and the Amheat's about to break
    FWho will Grise and Emwho will Fsink?
    FWho's going to stand his ground Gand who's going to Fblink?
    Surge Amforward from Van Cortlandt FPark Am... like frightened sheep
    CSpirit throngs that Ghoist us high, three Amthousand warriors deep
    FSpray our dreams on Gany surface Cwhere the paint will stickF  
    FTry to time the rhythm, Glisten for the click
    AmRise if you're sleeFping, stay awakeAm  
                    Am               F   Am(N.C.)
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
