Capo 3
 
(for the first half of the verse, play the D ONCE at the start of every line)
[Verse 1]
 D
If at some point we all succumb
     D
For goodness sake let us be young
         D
Because time gets harder to outrun
    D
And I'm nobody, I'm not done
 
(now strum it)
       D
With a cool cool breeze and dirty knees
  D
I rest on childhood memories
  D
We all got old at breakneck speed
 D
Slow it down, go easy on me
 
    G         A
Go easy on me
G                A
Aaah aaah ah-ah aaah
G                A
aaah aaah ah-ah ah,
        D
ah-ah aahh
 
[Chorus]
       D               G       A
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
           D                  G        A
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
       D
Put a t-shirt on
        G           A            D
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
 
[Verse 2]
D
If it's up and after you
    D
What do you suppose that you would do?
       D
You're all whacked out from lack of sleep
      D
You blame it on the friends you keep
   D
You want to do things differently
    D
And do them independently
   D
We all got old at breakneck speed
  D
Slow it down, go easy on me
 
    G         A
Go easy on me
G                A
Aaah aaah ah-ah aaah
G                A
aaah aaah ah-ah ah,
        D
ah-ah aahh
 
[Chorus]
       D               G       A
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
           D                  G        A
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
       D
Put a t-shirt on
        G           A            D
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
 
       D               G       A
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
           D                  G        A
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
       D
Put a t-shirt on
        G           A            D
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
 
[Bridge]
      G                 D
Does holy water make you pure?
      G                         D
Submerged your vision's just obscured
 G                D
You're a lot like me
G            D
In up to our knees
G             D              A
In over your chest is way too deep
 
[Chorus]
       D               G       A
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
           D                  G        A
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
       D
Put a t-shirt on
        G           A            D
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
 
       D               G       A
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
           D                  G        A
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
       D
Put a t-shirt on
        G           A            D
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

The way I found to play it closest to the song is by playing on Capo 1, playing the D with the E major chord shape, playing the G with a barre E major with the first finger on the 6th fret, and by playing a B major as the A. But the chords are correct, it just lacks the lower pitched strings from the recorded version.

Perfect! When you play a little with the D cord it sets a great mood!
