The song appears to be done with a capo on first fret, however this is how to play 
it without a capo.
INTRO/VERSE:
I've beCen waking up angry
It's Ggotta stop
All Amthis GchilFdhood behavior
And I kCnow it seems hard
To be aGround
LiAmke the sun wGho is goFing to save me
LFike a blanket of smoke
TAmhat is blown by the breeze
LCike a mGorning snapshot of two people
On Ftheir way to the beach
CHORUS:
I kCnow it seems hard
To Gbe around
But I Amknow it'Fs going to change when the baby comes out
HCeadaGches start when I try to stop
But I Amtry once aFgain cause I love you a lot
It's CjGust chFildhood behavior
I've beCen wakiGng up early a lot
LikAme the Gwhole Fworld's in danger
If CI stGay up too late
I lAmook just like a tGired Fstranger
LFike a mouth full of smoke
TAmhat is blown through the trees
LCike Ga morning snapshot of two people
