Comments:
1. This song has to be played with capo on the 2nd fret.
2. Piano chords:
           Bass  Chord
Asus2       A    a  -  b  - (c#)-  e
Bmsus4      B    b  -  d  -  e
Emsus2/7    E    g  -  b  -  d  -  f#
3. Guitar chords:
Asus2  Bmsus4
e[0]   e[0]
b[0]   b[3]
g[2]   g[4]
d[2]   d[4]
a[0]   a[2]
e[0]   e[2]
4. The chords below are actually for the acoustic guitar version.
And that's exactly how Grant's playing it live.
5. My suggestion for the piano players is to replace Bmsus4 by Bm7,
Asus2 by A and Em(7) by Emsus2/7.

Verse 1:

Asus2     E                   D
  And the point of my life is what
Bmsus4                 Asus2
What if it doesn't add up
        E                   D
And the trouble was all for naught
Bmsus4                       Asus2
Chalk it to the state of the world
    E                   D
Revelations are soon forgot

Chorus:

   Bmsus4                    Asus2
If only humankind was not so heartless now
Em(7)
Heartless now
     Bmsus4                   D
It's hard to love your fellow man
              Asus2
However can I help myself
     Em(7)          Bmsus4
From harboring such evil

Verse 2:

Asus2     E                 D
  And the reason of pain is clear
Bmsus4                      Asus2
Never learned the lesson of bliss
        E                  D
All the riches to squander here

Chorus:
   Bmsus4                    Asus2
If only humankind was not so selfish now
Em(7)
Selfish now
     Bmsus4                   D
It's hard to love your fellow man
              Asus2
However can I help myself
     Em(7)          Bmsus4
From harboring such evil

Middle part:

Asus2
Heartless now
Em(7)          Bmsus4
Heartless now
Asus2 E Bmsus4
Ooh oh oh

Verse 3:

Asus2     E                        D
  And the point of the stars is to shine
Bmsus4                      Asus2
Shine a little light in our way
         E                          D
When the fear in my heart leaves me blind
Bmsus4                   D
Even in the light of the day
     Bmsus4    Asus2
Come stumbling out
E      Bmsus4
Ooh ooh ooh

Chorus:

                             Asus2
If only humankind was not so heartless now
Em(7)
Heartless now
     Bmsus4                   D
It's hard to love your fellow man
              Asus2
However can I help myself
     Em(7)          Bmsus4
From harboring such evil

Ending:

Asus2 E Bmsus4
D                   Asus2
  Whenever we're so heartless now
Em(7)
Heartless now
Bmsus4
Oh oh oh
Asus2 E Bmsus4 D
