After not finding any "chords" for this song, I figured I would try it myself. I played 
this with the actual song and it sounds pretty accurate, though this may be best on 
acoustic guitar.
Note: On some of the C's, you may want to throw a pinky down on the 3rd fret e-string 
(ex: "cleanse me of the motives" would have the pinky down on "mo" and then off for "tives")
Capo 1
Intro: Strumming on C
Verse 1:
