My guess is this is originally played in Eb-Tuning as most of the stuff on the record.
If you play it in that tuning, get rid of the Capo and transpose +4.
And just play a regular E instead of Eadd9. It just sounds very nice on the C, which I'm sure you're aware of.
Capo III Version: To mimic the piano, you can flick in a D Dsus4 D change in the Verse and Main Riff.

[Bridge / Post-Verse]
C Em I wake up to find it's another four aspirin morning and I dive in, G D I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday -- when did society decide that we had to change C Em and wash a t-shirt after every individual use? If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it G D I take the stairs to the car and there's fog on the windows Cadd9 G D (And I'm finding the wo----rds)
I need caffeine in the bloodstream, I take caffeine in the bloodstream,
I grip the wheel and all at once I realize

My life's become a boring pop song and everyone's singing along
Em D C D Well, I'm ready (Well, I'm ready) to drop
[Chorus]
