Here are the chords to "One of Us" by Guy Sebastian.
I think that the song is really fantastic! I love the dark
mood and sound, as well as the unusual chord progression. And
as a cherry on top - to finish it off, it even has a key change! (which
really surprised me the first time I heard this song) 
As I mentioned earlier, this song has an unusual chord progression so as 
a result there are many barre chords. I've tried to simplify it as much as I 
could with my placement of the capo but some barre chords still remain. 
I don't recommend this song for beginners. Also during the key change, the chords
I tabbed out are for capo 4. However you could also move your capo up to fret 5 
and play Bm, E, G, and F instead. Have fun playing this song :)
CAPO ON FRET 4
INTRO:
Bm  G#m  Bm
VERSE 1:
 BmWhy is it so, that when it gets dark
 You G#msee so much clearer, the state of your heart
 Yeah it Ghurts through the day, but when you're in bed
 F#That's when you lose, the war with your head
 And Bmjust when you think, you've climbed out of hell
 All you G#mneed is a trigger, like a familiar smell
 Then you're Gdrowning in memories, you can't erase
 'Cause F#no one can take their place
CHORUS:
 One of us is Bmstronger
 One of us can Gstay awake
 And one of us can Emnot send a message at 3am
 Saying I F#miss you babe
 One of us sleepBms longer,
 One of us is Edone with crying
 One of us don't Gfeel like they die, whenever they realise
 This is F#not a dream
 I just Gwish that F#one of us was Bmme
VERSE 2:
 I Bmdon't wanna hear, about fish in the sea
 Or that G#mI can do better, that it's just meant to be
 'Cause if Gthere is a reason, that I can't find one
 Then I'm F#tired of looking, I'm tired, I'm done
 The Bmtruth is I know, its me who's at fault
 'Cause I G#mtook you for granted, I never gave you my all
 Wish that GI held you tighter, when I had the chance
 And F#not let you slip through my hands
CHORUS:
 One of us is Bmstronger
 One of us can Gstay awake
 And one of us can Emnot send a message at 3am
 Saying I F#miss you babe
 One of us sleepBms longer,
 One of us is Edone with crying
 One of us don't Gfeel like they die, whenever they realise
 This is F#not a dream
 I just Gwish that F#one of us was Emme
BRIDGE: 
 They say time heals all Bmwounds (Time heals all Emwounds)
 But clearly time ain't met Bmyou (ATime ain't met Gyou)
 'Cause if he did he would Dunderstand
 That I Ecan't live without
 I F#can't live without you
CHORUS:
 One of us is Bmstronger
 One of us can Gstay awake
 And one of us can Emnot send a message at 3am
 Saying I F#miss you babe
 One of us sleepBms longer,
 One of us is Edone with crying
 One of us don't Gfeel like they die, whenever they realise
 This is F#not a dream
 I just Gwish that one of us was Cmme
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: 
Cm  F  G#  G
OUTRO:
 I just G#wish that Gone of us .....was..... me Cm

I think that the song is really fantastic! I love the dark

mood and sound, as well as the unusual chord progression. And

as a cherry on top - to finish it off, it even has a key change! (which

really surprised me the first time I heard this song)

As I mentioned earlier, this song has an unusual chord progression so as

a result there are many barre chords. I've tried to simplify it as much as I

could with my placement of the capo but some barre chords still remain.

I don't recommend this song for beginners. Also during the key change, the chords

I tabbed out are for capo 4. However you could also move your capo up to fret 5

Why is it so, that when it gets dark

You see so much clearer, the state of your heart

Yeah it hurts through the day, but when you're in bed

That's when you lose, the war with your head

And just when you think, you've climbed out of hell

G#m

All you need is a trigger, like a familiar smell

Then you're drowning in memories, you can't erase

'Cause no one can take their place

CHORUS:

One of us is stronger

One of us can stay awake

And one of us can not send a message at 3am

Saying I miss you babe

One of us sleeps longer,

One of us is done with crying

One of us don't feel like they die, whenever they realise

This is not a dream

G F# Bm

I just wish that one of us was me

VERSE 2:

I don't wanna hear, about fish in the sea

G#m

Or that I can do better, that it's just meant to be

'Cause if there is a reason, that I can't find one

Then I'm tired of looking, I'm tired, I'm done

The truth is I know, its me who's at fault

G#m

'Cause I took you for granted, I never gave you my all

Wish that I held you tighter, when I had the chance

And not let you slip through my hands

CHORUS:

One of us is stronger

One of us can stay awake

And one of us can not send a message at 3am

Saying I miss you babe

I can't live without you

CHORUS:

One of us is stronger

One of us can stay awake

And one of us can not send a message at 3am
