The picking is fairly random and you can pick up the general idea just by listening to the song.
Something like this works for the verse:
e------------------|-----------------| B--------0---------|-----------------| G----9-------9-----|-------5-------6-| D------9---9-----9-|---6-------7-----| A--------------7---|-----------------| E--0---------------|-4---4---5---5---|
And the chorus is like this:
e------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B--------0---------|-------0---------|-------0---------|-------0---------| G----6-------6-----|---8-------8-----|---9-------9-----|---6-------6-----| D------7---7-----7-|-----9---9-----7-|-----9---9-----9-|-----6---6-----6-| A--------------7---|-------------7---|-7-----------7---|-4-----------4---| E--5---------------|-7---------------|-----------------|-----------------|

[E]and there's a million ways [Ab]I can mess it [A]up I always [E]do
[Ab]making plans and [A]making them too [E]soon
[Ab]I can't make much [A]sense out of [E]you
CHORUS
[Ab] [A] why bother [B] I'd rather [E]call it off than [Db]wait for it to [A]work
and why bother [B] I bet you're [E]better off with some [Db]other hopeless [A]jerk
and I [B]like you [E] but what can [Db]I do
there's [A]too much space to [B]make you stay[E]

[E]I've got a running list of [Ab]all the times I've [A]tried to break my [E]fall
