This is a great song. I emailed Rachael Kane, and she told me the chords! She normally plays it 
with a capo on the 2nd fret. Here are the chords WITHOUT the capo. 
Scroll to the bottom to see the chords to play with the capo.

This is a very good song to play on an acoustic guitar.


Verse 1.

F#m            E        D       A
        You're just the kind of boy
(A)          Ab          C#7
        that girls like me enjoy.
F#m         E        D         A
        You act like you're so straight.
(A)           Ab      C#7
        Baby, I can tempt your fate.
F#m          E       D   A
        Come on now, Mr. Clean.
(A)            Ab     C#7 (N.C.)   D 
        Honey, I know where you've been.

Pre-Chorus.

(D)   A             D           A             E
I can tell, you and I, we could fly, raise some hell.

(N.C)      D                                        A            E
I could be happy, you could be happy, we could make happy, messy love.
              D                                      A              E
We could talk dirty, we could eat badly, we could do all that messy stuff.
           D                                        A             E     D       RIFF x1.

Verse 2.

I'll take you to a place, 
where your love grows and aches,
put chaos in your head,
and I'll mess up your bed.
An' every time you scream, 
I'll be glad it's not a dream.

Pre-Chorus.

Pinch me now. Be a brave boy, and I'll show you how...

Chorus.

I could be happy, you could be happy, we could make happy, messy love.
We could talk dirty, we could eat badly, we could just turn the whole thing up.
I could be happy, you could be happy, we could make happy, messy  love  <- Hold E Chord this time.

Bridge.

(E)         F#m           E                  D                 B7
I'm feeling happy, messy. Quick, undress me. Baby, we'll clean up.
(B7)
Happy messy love. Everybody love. Let's get it on. On. On.

Pre-Chorus.

I can tell, you and I, we could fly, raise some hell.

Chorus.

I could be happy, you could be happy, we could make happy, messy love.
We could talk dirty, we could eat badly, we could do all that messy stuff.
I could be happy, you could be happy, we could make happy, messy love <- E chord.
(E)           D                                              A           E  B7                  
I'm makin' my mind up. Baby, it's it's time, now. Welcome to happy, messy love.

Ending.

B7
Happy messy love. Happy messy love. Happy messy love.
B7
Show me you care, on the floor, in the chair, turn everythin' on, here we come, now.

B7
Happy messy love.    -Repeat and fade out.

-------------------------
Now, to play it exactly as Rachael does, you need a capo on the second fret. When using a capo on the second fret, you are raising the pitch of your guitar by 2 semitones. So, you play the chords 2 semitones lower.

ie.

With capo on 2nd fret;

F#m = Em
E   = D
D   = C
A   = G
Ab  = F#
C#7 = B7
Dm  = Cm
B7  = A7
