This song can be played (and it sounds good) easily with a capo on the 1ST fret, using the chords below.

    E    Aadd9   B(?)
E   0    0       0
B   0    0       0
G   1    2       4
D   2    2       4
A   2    0       2
E   0    X       X


Having said that, I 'hear' it played with a capo on the 5th fret with these chords. 
Note the open E string over the C Chord in the second half of the verus, you'll hear it.

       C/G    F    G    C   C/E
E       0     1    3    0    0
B       1     1    3    1    1
G       0     2    0    0    0
D       2     3    0    2    2
A       3     3    2    3    3
E       3     1    3    0    0

C/G                         F
I'm going to dress up tonight
C/G                      G
I'll look real pretty for I don't know who
C/G                                 F
I'll find my own way around this great big city
C/G                                         G
And I'll sit at a bar and im gonna have a drink

C/G                         F
I'll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings
C/G                      G
I know you like to visit them from time to time
C/G                      C/E         F
Like a theif I steal the words you write to her
C/G                           G
I take them to my heart and I wish them to be mine

But this is nothing 
But it ain't nothing 
Oh this is nothin new
But it aint nothin

You long for sweetness
Does mine make you sickly
Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require
There's nothing sweet about a heart so embittered
It's ugly and it's cold and tonight it's out for hire

But it aint   Nothing new...            this aint n'thing

F                    G
We live through this day after day
F             
Complacency's a curse
         G
But you just can't escape it
       F                              G
I've arrived at that place where my tolerance gave way
       F                           G 
And i struggle to hold my head up high


              F         C
But it aint nothing new
                F     G 
this is nothing new
             c
no no non no
