Biography:
'Rex Orange County' is Alex O’Connor. A self-taught drummer, Alex grew-up in outskirts of London in Haslemere, Surrey. After applying keys, vocals and anything he could find to write loose-footed, fluid, personable songs about being bored and disillusioned, his self-produced eleven-track debut bedroom album ‘bcos u will never b free’ was released on September 2015. It was followed by the singles ‘UNO’ (2016) and 'Best friend' in January 2017.

Version 1 is completely wrong and the youtube tutorials I found all had minor errors.
Fairly certain these are the correct chords with timings.
Listen to the recording for the picking/strumming, bass notes, and mutes.
Shouldn't be too difficult to figure out :)

[Intro]
Am7b5 Gm7b5 Fmaj7
Gm7b5 Fmaj7
Gm7b5
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 F9
Always felt like I needed to please her, or impress her
Bbmaj7 Edim7
Though only in the hope that one day I would undress her
Fmaj7
Don't be offended
F9 Bbmaj7
You think I'm 'bout to tell you that "I love you"
Edim7
But I really really really fucking don't
Fmaj7
See the months of obsession
C6 A7/C#
And crying for hours
Dm7 C#m7 Cm7 F7b9 Bbmaj7
I even started sitting down in the shower, girl
C7b13- C13
I'll take my time on my own
C7 Fmaj7
And I'll be fine now I'm alone
Gm7b5 Fmaj7
[Verse 2]
Gm7b5 Fmaj7 F9
Constantly told stories with a stretch of the truth
Bbmaj7 Amaj7-Bbmaj7 Amaj7-Bbmaj7 Edim7
Trying hard to make memories to remember from youth
Fmaj7 F9
Desperately wanting you to be interested too
Bbmaj7
It's not clear what I need yet
Edim7
But it's clear it's not you
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 C6 A7/C#
Here's what I'd say to any young man that's still interested in you
Dm7 C#m7
Do you prioritise the things in your life
Cm7 F7b9
The things that you hope to do
Bbmaj7
Cause if not then
C7b13- C13
Mate you'd better trust me when I tell you that
C7
It's not worth forgetting about yourself
Because of one fucking girl
[Outro]
Fmaj7 C6 A7/C#
She may seem perfect, and gorgeous, and lovely
Dm7
You'll think she likes you
C#m7 Cm7 F7b9
I mean I thought she loved me, no
Bbmaj7
But no
C7b13- C13
Neither of us will get down from the shelf
C7
The only one she loves is herself
