Ok, first time effort here, but I thought the song was really catchy and
decided to try and get it down for anyone interested. As usual, this is
just my interpretation -- this is what my ears heard, but they could always
be wrong. Also, I don't know the names for all the chords, so while the
chords listed below are correct, the names might not be. Those marked
with a '?' use my own naming convention.

Chords used:

A#m: 688666
?A# Off: 666666
A#: 688766
F#: 244322
C#: 446664
?C# Off: 446644
G#m: 466444
G#: 466544
D#: 668886
?D# Off: 668866
B: 224442
B Off: 224422
F: 133211

I believe the electric guitar in the song is playing some of the chords
higher, (especially the F# and C#), so transpose to your liking.
As you can see above, most of the song is played near the middle of
the guitar, so try to avoid playing low transpositions like A#m = [x13321].
Here are some other suggestions that sound right, but could get painful if
you're trying with an acoustic:

F#: 9-9-11-11-11-9
C#: 9-11-11-10-9-9
