I'm not 100% on these chords, but this just how I play it.
Lyrics from genius.com
Listening to the song while playing, as always, would probably be super helpful!
 
I usually pick the root note with my thumb 
and use my other fingers to pluck the rest of the chord.

[Chorus]
         
 I thought tha

        
t I was dreami

ng
              
 When you said

                
 you loved me
              
 It started fr

    
om nothing
              
 I had no chan

      
ce to prepare
              
 I couldn't se

             
e you coming
              
 It started fr

   
om nothing 
            
 I could hate 

         
you now
              
 It's quite al

          
right to hate 

me now
         
 When we both 

          
know that deep

 down
              
 The feeling s

            
till deep down

          
 is good


[Verse 1]
       
 If I could se

          
e through wall


s I could see 

you're faking
       
 If you could 

       
see my thought


s you would se

e our faces
       
 Safe in my re

      
ntal like an a

              
rmored truck b

             
ack then
              
 We didn't giv

    
e a fuck back 

then
            
 I ain't a kid

        
 no more
            
 We'll never b

        
e those kids a

gain
              
 We'd drive to

         
 Syd's, had th

             
e X6 back then
       
 Back then

 
              
 No matter wha

    
t I did
              
 My waves woul

      
dn't dip back 

      
then
            
 Everything su


cked back then
         
 We were frien

ds


[Chorus]
              
 I thought tha

        
t I was dreami

ng
              
 When you said

            
 you loved me
              
 It started fr

   
om nothing
              
 I had no chan

       
ce to prepare
              
 I couldn't se

         
e you coming
              
 It started fr

   
om nothing 
         
 I could hate 


you now
       
 It's quite al

         
right to hate 


me now
          
 But we both k

             
now that deep 

     
down
          
 The feeling s

            
till deep down

         
 is good


 [Verse 2]
  
  In the halls


 of your hotel
       
 Arm around my

 
 shoulder so I

 could tell
          
 How much I me

en
             
 You ain't a k

 We'll never b

 It's not the

 Don't you rem
