The basic chords for this song are Am Em Dm, I'm sure you can figure that out based on 
the song how the rhythm goes.  I think it sounds better if you CAPO on the 5th fret 
transposing into the fingerings of Em Bm Am.  You can try what you like.

CAPO 5 (optional)

And the streets are gray
You know I wouldn't have it
Any other way, yeah

Em(palm (022000@1)mute)                 Bm(Bend (x24432@1)down entire chord)
Your mother's words
They're, they're ringing still
But your mother
Don't pay our bills, yeah

Em(palm (022000@1)mute)                 Bm(Bend (x24432@1)down entire chord)
I got a tortured mind
And my blade is sharp
A bad combination
In the dark

Em(palm (022000@1)mute)                 Bm(Bend (x24432@1)down entire chord)
If I kill a man
In the first degree
Baby, would you
Would you flee with me?

(Chorus Repeated as necessary)
