Chords

Andy typically writes songs in C# Standard. If you tune your guitar down three steps, this song makes most sense played with a capo on 1. You can also tune down two steps and play without a capo. Otherwise, play in standard. You will miss out on the creamy richness of that Dm being strummed as a low Em.
If playing in C# Standard with Capo on 1 (or D Standard), the /A7 is actually played:
e--3--
B--2--
G--2--
D--2--
A--0--
E--X--
[Intro] F Dm7 G Bb F Dm7 G F Dm7 Bb [Verse 1] F
    Dm7                       G7
"Halloween is just around the corner"
I was thinking today
F           Dm7                  G7
Sat around getting high all afternoon

                       G7
Wondering what I should wear

Bb             Dm7
Eventually, I picked myself up

G
Put on my shoes and walked out the door

Bb     Dm7               G
I had one destination in mind

            C7               F                Dm7 G
And that destination was the Halloween store
F Dm7 G [Verse 2] F
   Dm7                     G7
I started my car and as I did

                                     F
I wondered if I'd locked the house

Dm7                          G7
Walked back and found that I hadn't

                                  Bb
But now my keys were in the car

               Dm7
Walked to the car, pulled the handle

         G7
And it snapped back, at least, I'd locked one door

Bb                           Dm7
Reached my hand through the open window

 G7                          C7
Pulled the lock, forgot about the house

                 F                 Dm7 G
And drove to the Halloween store
F Dm7 G [Verse 3]
F         Dm7
I pulled into the lot and parked

G7                            F
Next to a blue car like yours

              Dm7
Looked in my rearview mirror

   G7
Imagining meeting you in an aisle

Bb      Dm7                         G7                       Bb
I said "Hi, I'm Norm, I think we've maybe met once before"

          Dm7
And as my fog cleared, I realized

       G7
That you were sitting in your car

C7                   F               Dm7 G
Smiling at me at the Halloween store
[Outro] F Dm7 G x8 F# F
