So I think this one is going to be a pretty polarising transcription as all the
chords I've seen are VASTLY different. But this one I know is in Ab/G# major for sure.
Timing wise I think I've got it. I put a high pass filter on the song and
just focused on the bass to get it. I do believe there could be an Eb for two beats and
an F minor for two beats instead of the straight bar of Eb in the chorus - but not sure.
Someone want to confirm?

-----------------------
So that is a basic and blunt breakdown for the chords for the song. Just try and follow
Ross' sick bass line and when he really accents it and I've done my best to place the
chords where they change but Matty does carry over some of the lines so don't follow him
too close. If you are arranging a cover feel free to make it easier for you. After all,
these chords are meant as guide not gospel.
If you want to play with a capo, put a capo on one and transpose this down one semitone.
This will allow you to play the G-major shapes aka THE EASIEST CHORD SHAPES.
Alternatively you can tune your guitar down one semitone into Eb/D# standard and
then transpose these chords UP ONE and play off that so you're in the
A major shape for standard.
If you find issue with this or what I've said, write a comment and let's collaborate, not hate.
Enjoy!
