Hi everyone! 
These are the correct chords as Jamie McDell herself tweeted the chord progression - all I did was figure out where in the lyrics the chords change over.
No capo, standard tuning. 
I like to play this slightly slowed down using fingerstyle, but this is not how Jamie plays it.
Hope you like this tab!!

I'm hEmeading down this rDoad,
I might not kGnow which way to Ggo
That's OCK, GI'm just yCoung & dBm7umb!
I wEmear my shoes a lDittle bigger,
I fGall for all your diGrty tricks
It's fCine, GI'm just yCoung & dBm7umb!
MEmissy, come and catch me Dif you can
And wGrap me 'round your hips and lGet's just dance
MCissed in shooting an arrow thrGough my heart
CoCme on, let's take this wBm7ay too far
I Emget away with anDything
I'll rGob your heart with jGust a wink and rCunG  
I'm just yCoung & dBm7umb!
EmRun Dme ofGf thiGs roCad,
Crash right oGff the bridge
We oCnly got one lBm7ife to live!
BefEmore Dwe gGet tGoo oCld,
Take your memGories, tChey're all that you'll have Bm7left of me
EmDa da da da Dda da da
GDa da da da da da da
EmDa da da da Dda da da
GDa da da da Bm7da da da
 I'm putting on this show
 Forgetting what I should have known
 I beat my drums, 'cause I'm young & dumb!
 I'm shooting cannonball, exploding everywhere I fall
 You better run, 'cause I'm young & dumb!
 Missy, come and catch me if you can
 And wrap me 'round your hips and let's just dance
 Missed in shooting an arrow through my heart
 Come on, let's take this way too far
 I'm standing with a gun
 I'm counting down four, three, two, one
 Tick-tock it's time, I'm just young & dumb!
 Run me off this road,
 Crash right off the bridge
 We only got one life to live!
 Before we get too old,
 Take your memories, they're all that you'll have left of me
 Running off this road,
 Don't you rescue me,
 I know your water's testing me
 Cross my way back home,
 But it's all fun to me,
 'cause walls are my worst enemy!
 Da ta ta ta ta ta
 Da ta ta ta ta ta
 Da ta ta ta ta ta
 Da ta ta ta ta ta
 Now there's blisters on my feet,
 Giant hole inside my dreams,
 All for some fun, I was young & dumb!
