Pretty basic song.  This is not exactly how Andy plays it, but these chords work
You can mess around with some hammer-ons to sort of get the same kind of effect on the album.

    E
So this is how it feels
E                                               B
Lean in to kiss the one that you love and she turns a cheek
        E
Let me tell you how it feels
E                                                       B
Watching the walls of the house that you build start crumbling
 
         G#m
Yeah you feel
        A       E
Love is passing by
         G#m
One more time

     G#m                   C#    B

E                 B
We try to get it right
   G#m                       C#    B

If you’re further down the road
E                                          B
Put up a sign, everyone will show me which way to go
     E
Yeah maybe you can start a fire
                                             B
If your love is strong, we could just follow smoke
 
 
         G#m
Yeah you feel
            A         E
Like you’re broken down
         G#m       A         F#
Waiting ‘til the truth comes out
