I Worked this out by playing the riff and using the root notes t find the chords.

     C#m                         E
It's empty in the valley of your heart
                  C#m           E
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
                  C#m
Away from all the fears
             E            Abm     E     Esus4    E
And all the faults you've left behind
                    C#m              E
The harvest left no food for you to eat
                  C#m             E
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
                    C#m
But I have seen the same
           E        Abm     E    Esus4   E
I know the shame in your defeat
CHORUS
    E      A       E
But I will hold on hope
    E       A       E
And I won't let you choke
A      E      B
On the noose around your neck
    C#m       A           E
And I'll find strength in pain
    C#m    A         E
And I will change my ways
     A       E            B
I'll know my name as it's called again

MIDDLE CHORDS SAME AS CHORUS

Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
