This whole song is tuned down a half step. 

Chords: 

B5:     799xxx 
B5/Bb:  699xxx 
E5:     x799xx 
C#m5:   x466xx 
E:      022100 
B:      799877 
G#m:    466444 
F#:     244322 

Verse: 

B5 B5/Bb?              B5           B5/Bb 
Don't move, stay right where you are 
B5 B5/Bb   B5    B5/Bb 
Talking can only give you away 
E5                           C#m5 
And there's so nothing to say 

(Same pattern) 
The voices say hello 
Imprisoned, they're invisible 
              E5                 C#m5 
But we look a lot alike, we look a lot alike 

This is boring, all we talk about is you 
C'mon give me a reason 
         E5              C#m5 
A boy and his machine gun 


Chorus: 
E          B   G#m      F# 
If you're fi-nished strugglin' 
E       B  G#m    F# 
Are ya fr-ee tonight? 
E        B            G#m 
Did they stick you in here 
   F#            E (let fade) 
Cuz you weren't workin right? 

Verse: 
Don't move, stay just like you are 
You look sane, motionless like that 
So very flat 
It's amazin what velocity can do 
When human beings are in season 
                E5              C#m5 
A boy and his machine gun 
                       E5         C#m5 
If you're quiet we might see some 

Chorus: 
When you're finished strugglin' 
Are ya free tonight? 
Did they stick you in here 
Cuz you weren't workin' right? 
E, B, G#m, F# 

(same pattern) 
There's a TV in every room 
And it's free, even pay-per-view 
Which you'll need if no one's 
Gonna visit you 
E 
Animal 
C#m 
Fuckin' Animal 
E 
C#m 

E   F#    B         C#m 
I know who you're waiting for 
E   F#    B     C#m 
           no one's comin' though 

Now it changes to this: 

------------------------------------------  
------------------------------------------  
------------------------------------------  
--6-6-6-9-4-4-4-9-2-2-2-9-4-4-4-9---------  
--6-6-6-9-4-4-4-9-2-2-2-9-4-4-4-9---------  
--4-4-4s7s2-2-2s7s0-0-0s7s2-2-2s7---------  

(over that): 

So fuck you and your principals 
And fuck whatever made me 
Perhaps you think I'm evil 
What does it matter if we're crazy? 

Then that part repeats, and you end on G#m
