For most of the song I believe it is just G D C. Just before he sings "Stop dragging us down..." he adds a D before going back to the G D C. For the heavier/distorted section it sounds something like G B A, but you may have to listen to the song to catch it. Now if you're playing along to the song, on Infiniheart, Chad's guitar is out of tune for some of the songs, so it will sound a bit off if your guitar is tuned. Anyways, I hope that's a good start.

Also, after the first G/Bs of each repetition, play the single notes of the highest pitched string, second fret, and the second highest string open.
