This is how I play it when I play it acoustically. It's not perfect, but I tried 
to get it as close as possible.

Standard tuning, Capo 2

Intro: Am, E x2

Am            E         Am                 E
Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
Am            E              Am               E 
I cannot recognize the truth  ?cause it?s unfamiliar
Am            E                    Am                  E
If you didn?t have so much left to prove, would there be resistance?
Am              E        Am           E 
Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
D                    E                  F                       G
I had been there and done it a thousand times but never with my eyes open

Chorus:

C                 Em
 You get what you paid for
C                   Em            G  Em    G  Em
 We can?t sell our Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
A                              C        G  Em  G  Em 
 Don?t let them give you the run around again, again
A                                  
 It?s up to you to make sense of it

Am E x4

Am      E           Am                       E 
No one hesitates to taste when they come and throw the feet down
Am                 E     Am        E
If you wanna make haste, keep your feet on the ground
Am                      E             Am          E      
I see you coming from a million miles away like a stampede of footsteps
Am                       E   Am       E
Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
D                        E              F
You can?t control what's happen to your heart
                 G
till you give it away - till you give it away

Repeat Chorus

Em      G             C            Am 
So many words flooded in my vacant mind
Em        G                 C                 Am
So little space, too little sleep, too little time
Em       G             C          Am
Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
Em       G             C                 Am              D
I cannot recognize the truth ?cause I?ve never known it
E          F               G
I?ve never known it - I?ve never known it 

Repeat Chorus

End on E
