I was surprised no one has submitted any chords for this song yet so I took a shot at 
it. I'm not sure precisely how accurate it is, but it sounds right to me.
 Cmaj7= 032003
  Em/A= x0200
   C/G= 332010
 Dsus4= xx0233
*Capo 4th Fret
Cmaj7What ghosts exists behind these attic walls?
GThere's got to be a simpler explanationCmaj7  
Because I scrimped and GI saved
Cmaj7Just to find Gthat they've been splicing my inventions
Cmaj7Cold skin and bones and this latitude
G
WCmaj7e ain't paying until the heat comes through
So you slept in a stockiGng cap and wool scarf
Cmaj7Promises of paymenBts were
GUpon your shoulders constantly
Cmaj7But don't forget to entertaiBn because
Em/Athis is your Dsus4first deC/Gfense
Cmaj7A four-year offense to the devoted type
GI may have got an invitation, but I wasn't invitedCmaj7  
But I thought Gthat this meant something more
Than broken hearts and new addictionsCmaj7  G  
Cmaj7We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine
G
Our boCmaj7dies will dissolve the chemicals in due time
Cmaj7Promises of paymenBts were
GUpon your shoulders constantly
Cmaj7But don't forget to entertaiBn because
Em/Athis is your Dsus4first deC/Gfense
Em/AThis is my Dsus4LAST defenC/Gse!
