It's not exactly what he plays but it sounds right enough to sing along this great song ;)
If your feeling fancy here are some things you can add. If not just play regular chords.
 
G* : 320002
C6 : x32040
D* :E|--2-2-+3-+5-|  For this one I might suggest
    B|--3-3--3--3-|  Barring the three lower strings with the index on the 2nd fret
    G|--2-2--2--2-|  Middle on the B string 3rd fret
    D|--0-0--0--0-|  Then add Ring on E 3rd fret
    A|------------|  Then add Pinky on E 5th fret
    E|------------|
 
 
[Intro]
 
G G G G
 
 
[Verse]
 
C                            G   G   G   G
  I can’t hear myself anymore
      C
In the switchable city.
 
 
[Refrain]
 
G     Bm      Em                      Bm             C
  Out on the balcony, lights shinning up from the city
            G
The city below.
     Bm       Em                   Bm                  C          C6
Down in the subway car, steps thunder down from the alleys above
                     G       G*
But its just you and me.
                  G       G*
It’s just you and me.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                D*      D*
I breathe your breath, 
                   C            G        G*        G        G*
I hold it in my weakening hands
                    D*     D*
Protect it from the mists 
                      C            G        G        G        G*
Rising from the sewer gates
 
 
[Verse]
 
C                              G   G*   G   G*
  I can’t feel my hands anymore
      C
In the switchable city, switchable city
 
 
[Refrain]
 
G     Bm      Em                   Bm       C
  Out on the frozen streets, the echo of a thousand feet
               G
Strangers pass by.
     Bm          Em        Bm                  C
Down in dark tunnels, headlights flash and rumble by
                     G       G*
But its just you and me.
                  G       G*
It’s just you and me.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                D*      D*
I breathe your breath, 
                   C            G        G*        G        G*
I hold it in my withering lung
                    D*      D*
I dream it from your lips
                      C            G        G*        G        G*
form it in well worn shapes

[Refrain]
 
G     Bm      Em                      Bm             C
  Out on the balcony, lights shinning up from the city
            G
The city below.
     Bm       Em                   Bm                  C
Down in the subway car, steps thunder down from the alleys above
                     G
Its just you and me.
