Very easy and straight-forward for most beginners. Song is in 3/4 time so strum/pick accordingly!
These chords aren't in the same key as the song, but you can fiddle with moving 
them half or whole tones up/down to get it right, or to get it so you can sing 
comfortably with it :)
Enjoy!

D                     Bm
Thinking outrageously I write in cursive
  G                       Em                     
I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
D                       Bm
Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
  G                         Em
I see my own breath on the face of the door

D       Bm
Oh I am not quite sleeping
G       Em
Oh I am fast in bed
D                        Bm
There on the wall in the bedroom creeping
G                     Em
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched

D                   Bm
North of Savanna we swim in the palisades
G                     Em
I come out wearing my brother's red hat
D                        Bm
There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
G                   Em
He runs washing his face in his hands

D        Bm
Oh how I meant to tease him
G        Em
Oh how I meant no harm
D                         Bm
Touching his back with my hand I kiss him
G                     Em
I see the wasp on the length of my arm

D        Bm      G        Em            D
Oh great sights upon this state! Hallelujah!
D       Bm          G       Em           D 
Wonders bright, and rivers, lake. Hallelujah!
D        Bm        G           Em         D
Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)
D    Bm         G        Em            D
trusting things beyond mistake. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)

D                Bm
We were in love. We were in love.
G
Palisades! Palisades!
Em
I can wait. I can wait.

D       Bm      G         Em           D
Lamb of God, we sound the horn. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)
D  Bm      G        Em           D
To us your ghost is born. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)

D       Bm                         G
I can't explain the state that I'm in
                Em                    D
The state of my heart, he was my best friend
         Bm                  G
Into the car, from the back seat
       Em                D
Oh admiration in falling asleep
          Bm                G
All of my powers, day after day
      Em                         D
I can tell you, we swaggered and swayed
            Bm                  G
Deep in the tower, the prairies below
       Em                        D
I can tell you, the telling gets old
         Bm                 G
Terrible sting and terrible storm
      Em                       D
I can tell you the day we were born
             Bm           G
My friend is gone, he ran away
      Em                        D
I can tell you, I love him each day
               Bm                    G
Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged
      Em                       D
I can tell you I love him each day
         Bm              G
Terrible sting, terrible storm
      Em         ...D
I can tell you...
