This is my favorite song by Bright Eyes, and I couldn't believe that not a single 
person had the chords correct on the internet. It's a very simple song, only 5 chords.

Tuning: Standard

Capo Second Fret

Verse:
F (133211@1)                       C (x32010@1)             
   John A. Hobson was a good man
G (320003@1)                               Am (x02210@1)  He used to loan me books and mic stands
F (133211@1)                       C (x32010@1)  He even got me a subscription
          G (320003@1)  To the Socialist Review
F (133211@1)                               C (x32010@1)  Listening to records in his basement
G (320003@1)                            Am (x02210@1)  Old folk songs about the government
F (133211@1)                                C (x32010@1)  It's love of money not the market
                     G (320003@1)  He said, "These fuckers push on you"

Chorus:
                 F (133211@1)              C (x32010@1)  And freedom yells, it don't cry
                F (133211@1)          Am (x02210@1)  Whatever sells will decide
                  F (133211@1)             Am (x02210@1)  But there's no hell when you die
                    G (320003@1)  So don't look so worried

Verse:
   He got a nightlife, lost his day job
   Pushing papers, swinging pendulums
   Anything to serve a function
   Or to occupy some time
   You've got to earn this living somehow
   You're good as dead without a bank account
   But it's funny how alive he felt 
   Down in that unemployment line

Chorus:
   With all that trash at his feet
   The pools of piss in the street
   All of that filthy empathy
   For the way we're feeling

Bridge:
Em (022000@1)                Am (x02210@1)                      G (320003@1)  The billboard's shade, the flags, they wave
                    C (x32010@1)  The anthem was playing loud
Am (x02210@1)           C (x32010@1)            F (133211@1)          G (320003@1)             
   The baseball game was letting out
Em (022000@1)          Am (x02210@1)                G (320003@1)  And all at once he saw the dust
                     C (x32010@1)  And heard every tiny sound
Am (x02210@1)         C (x32010@1)                   F (133211@1)        G (320003@1)  Got in his truck and turned around

**Pause**
   Drove out through the...

F (133211@1)             C (x32010@1)  Crowd and the cops 
                      F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)  Drove out past that center mall
                        F (133211@1)          C (x32010@1)  Drove out past that sickening sprawl
                 F (133211@1)           C (x32010@1)  Out past that fenced in gold
                F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)  And maybe he lost control
                    F (133211@1)     C (x32010@1)  Fucking with the radio
                  F (133211@1)             Am (x02210@1)           G (320003@1)  But I bet the stars seemed so close at the end
          F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)  At the end
          F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)   At the end
          F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)  At the end
          F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)  At the end

End on F.
