Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 G* ---x4 (listen for picking on 2nd time onwards! ... its simple.... strum the
 then pick the B then G string then back to strumming!)
  No  matter how we place the blame
  There are still pieces on the floor
  Someone's got to pick them up before
  It's  too late and  innocent feet  have bled  on our behalf
  Our reluctance  to sweep  away  our bitterness and hostility
  Can't  you see?
 we're all at fault  for something.
  No  matter how we play the game
  We're still fighting for an edge
  Someone's failing while you're up ahead
 Forging through the  emptiness, too sly  to rest
 And far behind, the weaker  one bows  his head
 Your goal is near, what of empathy?
  Can't  you see?
 we're all at fault  for something.
 Oh no....  Oh
 Oh,  I don't want to be  cold.
 Much rather see  these  happy things for  you and me
  Won't live  a life of apathy
 From my heart: my  apologies.
 No matter how hard I try
  I still fall a little short
  Got to try a little more
 There's always more  that I can be.
 G--Cadd9 x4
The outro has a really easy picking pattern:

 [G]No matter how we place the blame

 There are still pieces on the floor

 Someone's got to pick them up before

 [Am]It's too late and[G] innocent [Dsus4]feet have bled[Am] on our behalf
 Our [G]reluctance to [Dsus4]sweep away[Am] our bitterness and h[G]ostility
 [Dsus4]Can't you see?
[Am] we're all at f[C]ault for somethin[G]g.

 [G]No matter how we play the game

 We're still fighting for an edge

 Someone's failing while you're up ahead

[Am] Forging through the[G] emptiness, too [Dsus4]sly to rest
[Am] And far behind, the [G]weaker one [Dsus4]bows his head
[Am] Your goal is near, what of [G]empathy?
 [Dsus4]Can't you see?
[Am] we're all at [C]fault for some[G]thing.

[Em] Oh no[C].... O[G]h
[Em] Oh,[C] I don't want to be[G] co[Dsus4]ld.
[Am] Much rather s[C]ee thes[G]e happy things for[Dsus4] you and me
 Won't l[Am]ive a life of [C]apathy
[Am] From my heart: [C]my apol[G]ogies.

[G] No matter how hard I try

 I still fall a little short

 Got to try a little more
[Am] There's always [C]more that I can b[G]e.
