Acoustic version of an awesome song.
I used the following video as my reference

and it all seems to be accurate.
Here's The Zolas website containing lyrics and other links

Here are some chords you'll need to know first though
Bm [224432]
G [320033]
D [x00323]
A [002220]
F#7 [x1435x]
Capo on 3rd fret
VERSE
Bm G D
I dreamt about you the other night
Bm G D
We were there and people started to die
Bm G D
The seas rose to a terrible height
G D G F#7
But we survived yes we survived (I don't know why)
VERSE
Bm G D
We watched the grass pile up in the cracks
Bm G D
The birds return, the nights went black
Bm G D
Yeah we were lovers in the great collapse
G D G F#7
The seasons came, the seasons passed
CHORUS
G D A Em
So free what you love 'cause it's gonna die anyway
G D A Em
Those golden days will be fossilized and you'll scream
G D Bm A
Oh back it up, back it up, but it's not the same
G D A Bm
Though it's enough just to say I knew you well
x3 -> Bm, G, D
x1 -> G, D, G, F#7
VERSE
Bm G D
Now I can't sleep and I can't say no
Bm G D
Civilization ain't got no soul
Bm G D
The tick tock ticks out of control
G D G F#7
I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll (he's lost control)
VERSE
Bm G D
Though when my dream ends
Bm G D
It's true we're hardly friends
Bm G D
I can't forget those seasons
G D D F#7
The world is one, the world is one
CHORUS
G D A Em
So free what you love 'cause it's gonna die anyway
G D A Em
Those golden days will be fossilized and we'll scream
G D Bm A
Oh back it up, back it up, but it's not the same
G D A Bm
Though it's enough just to say I knew you well
Or alternately continue the chorus by ending the last line with...
G, D, A, G
and then start the chorus again as done in the video
Hope you enjoy it!
