VERSE 1:

G5               C5          G5                        C5
One more day down, Everybody has those days
G5                             C5                 G5            C5
Where one soft sweet song is just enough to clear my head

In between 'head' and the chord change is this on horns:

e:3-3-3-1-1-1-1-2-3


G5                 C5
Fall on real life, (fall on real life)
G5                        C5
Is anybody left here sane?
E5                  D5                   C5
And we?ll slide on over, the accept  fate
                              G5
Man it?s bound to be a powerful thing

CHORUS:
G5                        C5
And if it?s just that you?re weak, can we talk about it?
G5                  C5                        
It?s gettin so damn creepy just nursing this 
D5
Ghost of a chance
                              C5
The fiction, the romance, and the Technicolor dreams
                  G5  C5  G5  C5
Black and white people

VERSE 2:
G5                  C5
One boy headstrong
G5                              C5
He thinks everything here is just plain
G5                  C5                              G5      C5
He?s pushed down so hard you can hear him start to sink
G5               C5                        G5
And it?s one last round of this petty conversation
                        C5                        E5
You hold on boy, cuz you won?t go down like this
                  D5                        C5
You just roll on over and lay down till it?s more that you can take


CHORUS: same as last time

The solo (with horns) is as follows:
e-7-5-7-5-7-5-0-3-5-3-3-2-0-2-3-2
e-7-5-7-5-7-5-0-3-2-3-3-2-2-0-2-3
e-2-3-7-5-5-3-5-7

That little guitar thing in between solo and next verse:

e----3--------------------
B-----3-------3----------
G--------0---------------

G5                  C5      G5                  C5
So one more day down, everybody?s changing
G5                  C5                        D5
One soft sweet song is just enough to clear my....
      C5
My head

CHORUS: same as last time

Outro: Just switch between 
G5 and C5 , 
it?s kinda confusing
