That Nick Cave-esque Progression is: 
 
e-|-2-2-2--------- 
B-|-2-2-2--------- 
G-|-2-2-2--------- 
D-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4- 
A-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4- 
E-|-2-2-2-0-0-0-0- 
(in other words lifting the first finger off of an F#m) 
 
 
That continues in varying forms throughout the verses and choruses until "I 
measured my life and 
future harm" where it ends on a Gm. Everything drops out and the bass plays F# 
 
At "rust follows us, trust nobody" they lead into the chords with: 
 
A-|---0-2- 
E-|-2----- 
 
but I can't for the life of me figure out what these two chords are. 
 
End on Gm
