Capo on 2    
For the verses, you alternate between D and a quick Dsus2 or D and A.
I personally like the sound of A better when you're playing it acoustic, but
either works. The strumming can be a little odd, so listen to the song for any help there.
Verse:
Hey DGirl, lets lose oursAelves toDday.
AWe can Dgo anywhere we need to Aget Daway.
ASo say the Dword
AAnd we'll Dturn
AAround and Dleave this place Abehind
Chorus:
Come F#mon, you're never gonna Bmneed him,
That's why you're Gin my Aroom Dtonight.
So go F#mon, you know you Bmneed it,
That's why you're Gin my Aroom Dtonight.
Post-chorus ohs are just like the verse:
       D  A(or Dsus2)
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh
Verse:
I Dknew, you'd be coming Aback to Dme.
AI never Dthought that you'd have the courage to Aever Dleave.
AYouD  
AAre better Doff
ASticking Dright where you Aare.
Chorus (x2):
So come F#mon, you're never gonna Bmneed him,
That's why you're Gin my Aroom Dtonight.
So go F#mon, you know you Bmneed it,
That's why you're Gin my Aroom Dtonight.
Play D until Ohs actually come in, then:
     F#m    D(x2)
      Bm    D(x2)
G       A
Then D until chorus
Repeat chorus twice, but hold the last "room" of the the second chorus on an A chord
Repeat first "Oh" break similar to the verse
