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")

The outro is a mixture of partial phrases from the chorus with the chords from the chorus.
