What I have done is reformat the chords on top of the songs and change the chord 
names to the ones relative to the capo.  Kudos to timusus for figuring out the chords.
~Capo 3~
The chord diagrams are relative to the capo, i.e. the capo is on 3, which will be 0.

The chord I refer to as (C up 2 frets) is just:
Intro: G1  G2  G3  
Verse: Palm Mute All Chords
I could Bmcatch up to - to Cwhere you are
see if G3we can make it rEmight
if I thought Bmmeeting you somewhere Cin the dark
was gonna G3shed any new Emlight
Oh we'd Bmsit around, we'd Ctalk awhile
Make poG3lite excusEmes
But the cat Bmhas my tongue, I'm not Csaying much
'Cause I get G3shy around bullshiEmt
Brief Interlude: Let chords ring
 Bm-  C- G3  
Verse: Palm mute again
My new Bmtime piece is watching Cice melt
Down the G3bottom of my Emglass
And I Bmlove to watch, when Cfuses burn
Down tG3owards their future Emplans
gets me Bmthinking bout - it's time to Cempty out
these G3pockets of their idle Emhands
and sing Bmla da dadida Cda da, dada dGaD  G  
CLock all the doors, pull the phone from the wall, run and EmhidGe
  C       Em                       C( Cup 2 frets)
Oh I      used to be such a nice guy
Brief Interlude: Let chords ring
 Bm-  C- G3  
Maybe Bmclarity will Ccreep up on me
and reG3set my senses like a Emclock
and you'll conGmvince me that your Creality
is G3better than the one that I’ve Emgot
you'll give me a Bmsecond chance at my Csecond chance
and we will G3laugh about my near Emmiss
and the good lord Bmwill reward my Cignorance
with a little GblissD  
And I'll Csee a welcome Cface in the Cmirror that I don't 
RecogEmni-----Gise
C  Em     C                      (C shifted 2 frets up)
but now the Cdetails are vague, it's so Cstrange, like a 
previous Emli – i – i - Gife
C  Em       C                      (C shifted 2 frets up)
But I don't Cknow when to admit that I'm Emlost - 
when to Cstubbornly insist that I'm Emnot
