Capo on 2, 4 or 6. Whichever works for your vocal range. I think the album is on 2 
but, I have to on 6.

Atrying to find the distance
the Dspace between what we feel
and what Awe see
Emlike the distance coming between you Aand me
  Dso don't Abe long
  Emdon't Abe long
  Dall we murder and conAfetti
  our science in the hoAly ghost
the Emspace between is spreading and getting Astrong
the Emdistance only grows so don't Abe long
That's about it. Repeat what's necessary. It's very easy and fun. Just gotta be 
able to sing at that pitch, lol.
