This is the way i play the song on an acoustic guitar, i couldnt find a video of anyone 
else playing the intro or anything so here how to play it. Everything is relative to the capo.

   Guitar 2 (starting at the second part of Guitar 1's Intro Riff)
    A2

Verse 1
E
To know her, is to love her, I'm going undercover
E
To catch a glimpse but not get caught

But to see her, could be worse, If I don't get my head straight first
E
On second thought I guess I'll not
Pre-Chorus 1
A2
She's almost brighter than the sun
                    E
Seems to me to be unfair
                      C#
When you consider everyone
                      A2
Who pales when they compare, when they compare

Chorus
E
Can’t hold a candle to her
                                A2
Cause all the moths get in the way

And they’ll begin to chew her
                         E
Entire attire until it frays

For she outshines anyone whoever might
E
Dare to bask in the same candlelight

Intro Riff
Verse 2
E
Oh please don’t seat us in the back, With all the insects and the trash
E
She is a lady I’m the tramp

Collecting stares from pairs close by, Then flutters in a butterfly
E
Ew just a moth drawn to the lamp

Pre-Chorus 2
A2
She’s like an ancient artifact
                                E
Something you’re lucky to have found
                                   C#
She’ll pinch the nerves in all the necks
                             A2
When she turns those heads around, those heads around

Chorus
Intro Riff 2x
