Wait! Maybe you don't have a capo and you want to play this song (That happened to me).
Chords without capo:
E = G# : 46654x
A = C#: x4666x
F#m7/9 = A#m7/9: 64654x
G = B : x2444x or 76444x
A* = C#*: xxx664
G6 = B: xxx442
Also, Courtney plays this songs differently from other because in this song she uses a pick
(I recommend using from 0.5 mm picks to 1.0 mm for a more direct and rough sound of the song)

E Oliver Paul, twenty years old
AThick head of hair, worries he's going bald
E Wakes up at quarter past nine
AFair evades his way down the 96 tram line
EBreakfast on the run again, he's well aware
He's Adropping soy linseed Vegemite crumbs everEywhere A E A
E Feeling sick at the sight of his computer
He Adodges his way through the Swanston commuters
ERips off his tie, hands it to a homeless man
ASleeping in the corner of a metro bus stand and he sEcreams
"I'm not going to work today
Going to cAount the minutes that the trains run late
E A E F#m7/9 G A
Sit on the grass building pyramids out of Coke cans"
EHeadphone wielding to the Nicholas building
He Atrips on a pothole that's not been filled in
HeE waits for an elevator, one to nine
A Alady walks in and waits by his side
HerE heels are high and her bag is snakeskin
AHair pulled so tight you can see her skeleton
EVickers perfume on her breath
A Atortoise shell necklace between her breasts
She looks himE up and down with a botox frown
He's Awell used to that look by now
E F#m7/9 G A
The elevator dings and they awkwardly step in
E F#m7/9 G A
Their fingers touch on the rooftop button
E A* G6
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
E A* G6
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth
E A* G6 E A* G6
I'd give anything to have skin like you
He said "EI think you're projecting the way that you're feeling
I'm Anot suicidal, just idling insignificantly
I cEome up here for perception and clarity
I lAike to imagine I'm playing SimCity
E F#m7/9 G A
All the people look like ants from up here
E F#m7/9 G A
And the wind's the only traffic you can hear"
E F#m7/9 G A
He said "All I ever wanted to be
E F#m7/9 G A
Was an elevator operator, can you help me please?"
E A* G6
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
E A* G6
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth
E A* G6 E A* G6
I'd give anything to have skin like you
E A* G6
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
E A* G6
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth
E A* G6 E A* G6
I'd give anything to have skin like you
