On playing the C chord you'll notice he plays C and then pulls off to an open string. 
You can include this if you wish but if you're wanting to keep it simple just play C
[Verse 1]
    EmSorrowing man,
    DsusLook how worn you've Embecome
You once were lord of the barren Dsussea
    EmThere's blood on our hands
    DsusIn this perfect madness
    EmWe're living on borrowed Dsustime
[Chorus]
EmOh hGow Dsusyou have Asuslost your Cway,
EmOh hGow Dsusyou have Asuslost your Cway
**Alternate between Em and Dsus throughout Verse 2**
[Verse 2]
There's no sympathy
For we don't know the cure
'Cause what you've got
Well it runs too deep
But you've lived and breathed
More than any man I know
But you're not done
Oh, at least I hope
[Chorus]
EmOh hGow Dsusyou have Asuslost your Cway,
EmOh hGow Dsusyou have Asuslost your Cway

EmOh hGow Dsusyou have Asuslost your Cway,
