So this isn't how it's actually played but it's pretty close. I asked Mat to show me the chords and he showed 
me the chords for the verse but didn't explain the chorus too well. The actual chords for the verse are 
something like x54200 and x42100. If you figure out the chords for the chorus from those email me!
This beginning part plays a few times throughout the song.
