These are the chords phrasings that sound best to me in the Verse / Interlude:
     G3200xx
    Bmx2443x
 Asus4x0223x
In the Chorus, go for the Standard chord shapes,
A/C# being x47650 (or, maybe easier, x42220, or a regular A for easier playability)
I think in the vocal melody Andrew often walks down from the D to C#,
being the fourth and third of the A-chord respectively.
If you want to mimic this, you can change from Asus4 to A on "learning", "burning", "past", "blast" and such.
[Verse]
There's a Glot that I don't Bmknow, there's a Asus4lot that I'm still learning
When I Gthink I'm letting Bmgo, I find my Asus4body, it's still burning
And you hold me Gdown,    Bmand you got me Asus4living in the past
Come on and pick me Gup,     Bmsomebody clear the Asus4wreckage from the blast
[Chorus] 
  GYeah I'm alDive, but BmI don't need a wA/C#itness 
to know that GI've survDived, I'm not Bmlooking for forgA/C#iveness

[Interlude]

[Verse] 
And the Gbars are finally Bmclosed, so I try Asus4living in the moment
For the Gmoment it just frBmoze and I felt Asus4sick and so alone
I could hear the sGound    Bmof your voice still Asus4ringing in my ear
I'm going undergrGound,    Bmbut you'll find me Asus4anywhere I fear
