No Capo needed. I wrote these chords after the spotify/youtube-vevo version of the song.
If you don't wanna play Cm7 just play Cm it works fine as well :D
[Intro]
GmOooCmhh FyeCm7aaa
[Verse 1]
Look no Gmfarther than the father's who go farther than they should
To the Cm7point where we're surrounded by the scars behind their hoods
and Gmwhoooooo is gonna teach them Cm7wrong from right?
who's gonna tell them it's alright?
just Dpass the just cigaretCm7te uh
take these Dbrain cells out of my headCm7  
fill my Dlungs, drain my heart
[Chorus]
'Cause this Gmsmoke cloud's giving me Cm7shelter
and I feel much Fbetter
and demons Dwave the white flags for me
Still my Gmbones keep pleading to Cm7walk out
from all of this Ffall out
but there's no Dway that I could leave
so I don't D#leave
turn my bitterness to Dsweet
I gotta find a new Cm7release yeahD  
So I'm trading Gmblues for greenCm7  
Da da da da da da da da yeah
Duhh yeah uh listen
[Verse 2]
See GmI'm a simple man I don't even have a phone
If I Cm7did I wouldn't pick it up I wanna be alone
GmI don't trust anyone in this one-track Zone
Cm7When the people walk by watch my eyes fall down and
GmWhooo yeaaah is gonna teach them wrong,
