These are the basic chords, but it should be good enough to play along and sing it.
There are a bunch of little hammer-ons and pull-offs during
some of the F, Am and Fmaj7 chords, but they should be easy to work out.
The intro is obvisouly fingerpicked, which includes a lot more details than just the basic chords.

[Intro]
C  G/B  C  F  C  G  C  G
[Verse]
Your Cworn, beaten paths pushing cGounterfeits,
where Cwhiskey stained sheets line the Fbeds
Spark fAmluorescent lights, the true Ccancer of Fnight,
holding Cclarity like a Ggun to your Fhead
[Bridge]
And Dmgod E7damn youFmaj7,
Fmaj7you ought to heed what I’ve CsaidG  
[Verse]
‘Cause Choney we’re the kids that Ggod forgot,
dead bCranches swept out in the Fwake
Our Amtorn velvet sky may Cleave us both Fblind
if we Clook towards the Ghope it disFplays
I’ve Cheard the call of the Ggreat after all,
oh I’ve Cshivered in steady drawn Fsights
And the Ambreaths that I took, well they’d Cleave us both Fshook
I know your Cheart’s as crGooked as mFine
[Bridge]
And DmGod E7damn Fmaj7you,
Fmaj7there ain’t a woman as fCineG  
[Chorus]
BelFieve Cme Glove
it’s Calmost G/Bgood eAmnough
To Dmhide in the scars that tAmatter your arms
and Fshine like the trophies they Care
But all stars Ffade,
Fcloaks fall from GpainGadd11,G  
Gand to love is to hate
[Interlude]
C  G/B  C  F  C  G  C  G

So Ccount every footprint that lGeads back to me,
baby Ctrace the jigsaw of our tFime
And the Amcold that we’ve felt is an Cice cube in heFll
to the Cwarmth when our Gpieces Falign
I know I Cfuck up like breathing, seems Geach day’s a reason
to Cburn every bridge that I’ve pFatched
Give me one lAmast leap of faith, I swear CI’ll turn our Fpage,
fold Cdog ears and sGwallow the mFatch
[Bridge]
And DmGod E7damn Fmaj7you,
Fmaj7I’m gonna eat what I caCtchG  
[Chorus]

But yDmou’re not the scars that Amtatter your arms
and Fshine like the trophies they Care
All stars fFade,
cloaks fall from GpainGadd11,G  
Gand to love is to Chate,
oh to G/BLove is to Amhate
And all meaning I Ffind

CAPO 3

Standard Tuning

[Intro]

C G/B C F C G C G

[Verse]

C G

Your worn, beaten paths pushing counterfeits,

C F

where whiskey stained sheets line the beds

Am C F

Spark fluorescent lights, the true cancer of night,

C G F

holding clarity like a gun to your head

[Bridge]

Dm E7 Fmaj7

And god damn you,

Fmaj7 C G

you ought to heed what I’ve said

[Verse]

C G

‘Cause honey we’re the kids that god forgot,

C F

dead branches swept out in the wake

Am C F

Our torn velvet sky may leave us both blind

C G F

if we look towards the hope it displays

C G

I’ve heard the call of the great after all,

C F

oh I’ve shivered in steady drawn sights

Am C F

And the breaths that I took, well they’d leave us both shook

C G F

I know your heart’s as crooked as mine

[Bridge]

Dm E7 Fmaj7

And God damn you,

Fmaj7 C G

there ain’t a woman as fine

[Chorus]

F C G

Believe me love

C G/B Am

it’s almost good enough

Dm Am

To hide in the scars that tatter your arms

F C

and shine like the trophies they are

But all stars fade,

F G Gadd11 G

cloaks fall from pain,

and to love is to hate

[Interlude]

C G/B C F C G C G

[Verse]

C G

So count every footprint that leads back to me,

C F

baby trace the jigsaw of our time

Am C F

And the cold that we’ve felt is an ice cube in hell

C G F

to the warmth when our pieces align

C G

I know I fuck up like breathing, seems each day’s a reason

C F

to burn every bridge that I’ve patched

Am C F

Give me one last leap of faith, I swear I’ll turn our page,

C G F

fold dog ears and swallow the match

[Bridge]

Dm E7 Fmaj7

And God damn you,

Fmaj7 C G

I’m gonna eat what I catch

[Chorus]

F C G

I don’t know,

C G/B Am

honey what I don’t know

Dm Am

But you’re not the scars that tatter your arms

F C

and shine like the trophies they are

All stars fade,

G Gadd11 G

cloaks fall from pain,

G C

and to love is to hate,

G/B Am

oh to Love is to hate

And all meaning I find

F G Gadd11 G

is deaf, dumb and blind

But not you

[Outro]

C G/B C F C G C
