I haven't yet seen this song anywhere so I thought I would write it up. What I
have come up with isn't at all complete. There is more to this song, but I
think these chords will start you guys up. I heard this song on the Howard
Stern show. It was in an acoustic version, which made it easier to hear the
guitar, but it's all the same as the album. I know this transcription of mine
is not "Perfect", but any corrections, comments, and embarrassments are
welcomed :) It's also my first transcription so give me a break! :-)

It's all basically these two chords:

C# x46664
Bbm? x13321 (I'm not sure this is the right name of the chord)

Intro: C# - Bbm : Play these two chords and just keep going until the verse.
(I think everyone should listen to the song when playing because I may be off
on the chord changes and on the timing.)

(Verse 1)
-------------------------------
C#   Bbm          C#   Bbm        C#
I know we're just like...
Bbm          C#     Bbm
C#    Bbm     C#    Bbm          C#
Bbm               C#   Bbm

Chorus?(I think this is where the chorus starts)
C#       Bbm               C#    Bbm
But please you know...
C#      Bbm          C#    Bbm  C#    Bbm  C#
Bbm           C#  Bbm       C#
Bbm     C#    Bbm
C#   Bbm           C#    C#
C#     Bbm           C#   Bbm  C#  Bbm

(Verse 2)
-----------------------------
C#   Bbm            C#  Bbm            C#
Bbm
Angel you know...
    C#      Bbm

Chorus? (I still don't know if this is where the chorus starts:)
C#      Bbm            C#     C#
So please...
C#      Bbm          C#    Bbm  C#
Bbm           C#   Bbm         C#    Bbm C# Bbm
C#
Bbm            C# Bbm            C#  Bbm
    C#  Bbm
C#    Bbm  C#    Bbm  C#    Bbm  C#

That's it. Enjoy! :-) Jenn
