End on A

Ok I cannot figure out how to play this, I have all the chords down but I can't figure out the timing or what chord should be played on what lyric, can anyone help me out here?

This tab on Ultimate Guitar does a pretty good job of placing the chords over the lyrics (except some of the words are wrong). Generally for the strumming just doing some palm muting with all down strokes works pretty well. To give it more impact you could open strum the chorus.

I like to stick a capo on the 2nd fret to play in G and do some simple fingerstyle but that's just the way I play it.

Oh dude thank you so much

I have an additional question, what tuning is Brian in on the KEXP Acoustic version?

Sounds like he's playing in A so it really doesn't matter. If your guitar is in standard, play those chords. If you're tuned a step down, just move all the chords up 2 steps.
