I might be off on the first section, but the rest is correct.

Notes:
...I heard an annoying techno version of this song tonight at a dance
party, which inspired me to come home and try to do a decent-sounding
acoustic remake. the music was so loud I probably have permanent
hearing loss, so it's not my fault if these chords aren't right! :)
...lyrics nabbed from ftp.uwp.edu.
...pick the chords creatively during the verses, it sounds prettier.
...feel free to write me about corrections or enhancements, or if you're
a seattle-based musician looking for a band, or whatever!
...and the chord formations (or how I play them, anyhow):
A minorAm x02210
G+G 320033
C majorC x32010
FF 133211
Bb majorBb 113331
D#D# 668881
D MajorD xx0232
E minorEm 022000
A augmentedA x02220
C/DC/D x32013
