If you can get the basic shape of a bar chord down this song is actually pretty simple.
Intro:
e|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|-------7-----------7---------7---------7----------|
A|-----7---7-------7---7-----7---7-----7---7--------|
E|---5-----------5---------5---------5--------------|
You can also completely mute these strings while picking them.

"She's got a knack for hurting me..."
e|-5---5---5---5-----2---2---2---2------------------|
B|-5---5---5---5-----2---2---2---2------------------|

A|-7---7---7---7-----4---4---4---4------------------|
E|-5---5---5---5-----2---2---2---2------------------|
(Repeat x2)
Use up-strokes if you want but when Rome plays it live he does not. Listen to the song
to get the strumming down.

Cut this first Pre-Chorus short by stopping after the four D chords and ending with the
E on "For the last time".
Repeat the verse.
Repeat the Pre-Chorus playing through the last E chords.

These are the two chords. Listen to the song because here the strumming changes.
"Her gesture is no match for..."
e|-3-----2-----5---------------|
B|-3-----2-----5---------------|
G|-4-----3-----6---------------|
D|-5-----4-----7---------------|
A|-5-----4-----7---------------|

The strumming changes again here. For the fist time play through the A chord by using
the same strumming as above. For the second just hold it.
Repeat Chorus as much needed. And that's pretty much it! Good luck because this song is awesome!
