Listen for the changes in the Chorus too get the timing right. The G#m, A and E are played very abruptly. 
Timing can be tricky. 


In the bridge you can also play this at the beginning:

           E Chord                              A Chord                                
E|----------------------------| e| ----------------------------|
B|---------9------------------| B| ---------9------------------|
G|------------9--------9------| G| ------------9--------9------|
D|------9-----------9-----9---| x2  D| ------9-----------9-----9---| x2
A|---7-----------7------------| A| ---0-----------0------------|
E|----------------------------| E| ----------------------------|

Listen for when it changes to the palm mutes to stop. 


[Verse]
       E                         A
Living in living rooms and it's true 
       A                             G#m               A
That I haven't gone to bed since the last time that I saw you
               E
Cause going to couch or going to floor
        A                               B
Well it doesn't quite provide the eight hours 
        G#m     A
That my body is screaming for
                  E                                 A
Cause we've been driving round singing songs about, driving round singing songs
    B                           G#m        A              
And I don't wanna have fun with anyone but you, 
            E                               
so take the Great Ocean Road at midnight, 
    A                               B
and I'll get in at three and meet me inbetween, 
        G#m            A 
where I am and where I wanna be


[Chorus]
      E                                   B             A
Cause every night's a Saturday night and, every day's a Monday morning
E                                               B            A
Everything ever happened the past month and, we didn't get a single warning
     E                                                   B               A
And everything that we believe about each other has been proven right it seems
    E                                      B
And all we have left is what the King said
      A             E          B
Don't fuck with our dreams
      G#m        A    E        B G#m A
Don't fuck with our dreams


[Verse]
         E                             A
I set to wandering like I always say I do
                      B                       G#m    A
Walked the flat city streets looking for a sign of a past you
    E                         A
And knee deep in alcohol and borrowed souls
                        B                    G#m     A
I skipped another sonnet to open ourselves up to the open road
        E                       A
And as the dry wheat fields fly by ready to burn 
        B                       G#m        A
In the overtaking lane I take a second to learn
         E                    A                        B                    G#m     A
From the mangled advice I was given last night by the sweaty guys, with the glassy eyes


[Chorus]
      E                                   B             A
Cause every night's a Saturday night and, every day's a Monday morning
E                                               B            A
Everything ever happened the past month and, we didn't get a single warning
     E                                                   B               A
And everything that we believe about each other has been proven right it seems
    E                                      B
And all we have left is what the King said
                    E          B
Don't fuck with our dreams
      G#m        A    E        B G#m A
Don't fuck with our dreams
      A             E          B
Don't fuck with our dreams
      G#m        A    E        B (Hold)
Don't fuck with our dreams

          
[Bridge] 
E A 

E
I wanna leave something permanent on this stretch of road
               A                                                           E
Something that won't fly away like the dust and the exhaust smoke we breathe in  
                   A
To strengthen the low
               E
Like when you said, if I'm gonna die, at least I died helping someone
A
That's what you were thinking when you held together your own
E
I can't take another late night phone call, from some other far from home hospital
   A                                                                            E
I came so close to giving up, why has my way of coping become a reason to spill blood?
                                   A                                 E
But now isn't the time for backing down, got our feet so firm on the ground

So call me what you will, I don't care
A
I know what happened I was there, we know what happened we were there
E
Yeah call me what you will, I don't care
A                                                                      E
I know what happened I was there, we know what happened we were there
A                                                                      E
I know what happened I was there, we know what happened we were there
A                                                                      E
I know what happened I was there, we know what happened we were there


[Chorus]
      E                                   B             A
Cause every night's a Saturday night and, every day's a Monday morning
E                                               B            A
Everything ever happened the past month and, we didn't get a single warning
     E                                                   B               A
And everything that we believe about each other has been proven right it seems
    E                                      B
And all we have left is what the King said
      A             E          B
Don't fuck with our dreams
      G#m        A    E        B G#m A
Don't fuck with our dreams
      A             E          B
Don't fuck with our dreams
      G#m        A    E        B G#m A
Don't fuck with our dreams
