I figured it's about the easiest to play with your capo on the third fret.
You can do it without but the chordpattern would be harder to pull off.
 
 
[Intro]
N.C.
Oh oh oh-oh oh ...
C  G  D   Em  G  C
Oh oh oh-oh oh ... (X2)
 
[Verse 1]
 
C       G  D
Right now
                          Am              G       C
You got me feeling like I can’t believe I let you go
          C     G    D
I’ve been alone so long
                          Em           G        C
And now I wonder what the hell we were thinking of
      C              G    D
Oh I can’t believe I kid myself again, again
Em         G       C
   Now I’m letting go
C         G        D
Oh my fear, all my fear
                                Em
I’ve been fearing this too long
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C         G        D
Back beat, counting time
                              Em         G          C
Pick it up and tell me if you really wanna dance some more
      C         G           D
We’re borderline wasting time
                                Em               G      C
Pick it up and tell me that you love me like you did before
  C         G      D
I understand, understand
 
I been feeling it so long
    Em             G        C
I’m flying when I’m in your arms
    C         G          D
I’m burning up, burning up
                           Em       G     C
Feeling like I kid myself, kid myself again
 
Yeah
 
 
[Bridge]
 
N.C.
Oh oh oh-oh oh oh, oh oh
N.C.
oh oh oh-oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
 
C  G  D  Em  G  C [x2]
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 C         G  D
Think fast
                             Em           D         C
Don’t let the speed of sound leave you feeling paralyzed
 C         G  D
Slow down
                             Em              D             C
Cause your words are saying something different than your eyes
       C           G         D
Oh, If only we could make it so we didn’t have to try so hard
Em           G      C
   To stay in time again
C          G        D
Show me how, show me how
    Em
And you will leave me wanting more
 
 
[Chorus]
(repeat x2)
C         G        D
Back beat, counting time
                              Em         G          C
Pick it up and tell me if you really wanna dance some more
      C         G           D
We’re borderline wasting time
                                Em               G      C
Pick it up and tell me that you love me like you did before
  C         G      D
I understand, understand
 
I been feeling it so long
    Em             G        C
I’m flying when I’m in your arms
    C         G          D
I’m burning up, burning up
                           Em       G     C
Feeling like I kid myself, kid myself again
 
Yeah
 
 
[Outro]
 
N.C.
oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh oh oh oh
N.C.
oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
N.C.
oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh oh oh oh
N.C.
oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
 
(you could play the chords over this part of the chorus aswell if you think it sounds better)
N.C.
Back beat, counting time
N.C.
Pick it up and tell me if you really wanna dance some more
N.C.
We’re borderline wasting time
N.C                                                            Em
Pick it up and tell me that you love me like you did before 
  C         G      D
I understand, understand
 
I been feeling it so long
    Em             G        C
I’m flying when I’m in your arms
    C         G          D
I’m burning up, burning up
                           Em       G     C
Feeling like I kid myself, kid myself again     Yeah
