Rupert Blackman (frontman) gave me these chords when I asked for it, so I assume these are 100% correct! 
I play this acoustic, I think it sounds best when
you start strumming each chord once the first verse and pre-chorus 
[Verse 1]
DWe were undefined
C#mSteady as the tide
  F#mAll was faded
  AAll was faded
[Pre-chorus]
Take this Dsinking ship
Out the Efiring line
You go F#myour way now
I'll go Amine
[Chorus]
Take this Dsinking ship out the Efiring line 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine
When the Dmorning comes see what Ewe will find 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine 
[Verse 2]
DWaiting on the shore
C#mYou see my eyes are scanning F#mback and forth 
AFor somewhere out there is a Dbinding force
Like you C#mfind in the ocF#meanA  
So tell me why DI've been sent down C#mthis same road forF#mever, forAever
DWhy I've been breaking C#msince I can remeF#mmberA  
[Chorus]
Take this Dsinking ship out the Efiring line 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine
When the Dmorning comes see what Ewe will find 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine 
Take this Dsinking ship out the Efiring line 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine
When the Dmorning comes see what Ewe will find 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine 
[Bridge]
DTorn Elike a F#mribbAon
There are Dtimes when I forEget
There are F#mtimes A  
                          DE              
Don't make a sound, my lover lay me down
F#mWe were uneducated Ato the love we had already Dfound
[Chorus] 
Take this Dsinking ship out the Efiring line 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine
When the Dmorning comes see what Ewe will find 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine 
Take this Dsinking ship out the Efiring line 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine
When the Dmorning comes see what Ewe will find 
You go F#myour way now, I'll go Amine
