I figured out the chords from Lisa's acoustic version at Rolling Stone

Transpose down twice to get chords for the original version (F   C   G continues at the bottom after
transposing, not   G    D    A)
[Verse 1]
N.C.
I think that I’m beginning to care...
I think that I’m Gbeginning,  Dto carAe...    
Well, the Gwind blows my hair across my Dface,A  
There’s a Gkid on his skateboard in the DManly Asun
We’re Gdriving down the avenueD  A  
Past all the Embig housesG  
And there’s Gsomething about these strDeetsA  
And the Gway you wear your Dheart on your Asleeve
