Pretty song...

INTRO (Play this chord progression once): F5 - A5 - D5 - Bb5

VERSE I: (I'm not entirely sure about the E7, but it sounds acceptable enough while 
the song...any corrections are definitely welcome.)

D5                            E5
On a free ride home from the embassy
          A5                E5     A5      D5
I saw the governor, and his lover, holding hands
D5                         E5
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
    A5         E5 A5   D5
And opened the windows wide


CHORUS: (No chord until "save")
             F5                            A5
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
                 D5                                 Bb5
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
    F5                                  A5
The time I've spent, working myself to death
                        D5                     Bb5
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
           F5                       A5
To make it good again, to makes us strong
            Bb5                 F5
To make you happy, to push you along
                                      A5
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
            Bb5                        F5
I was on my knees when you knocked me down

VERSE II:

D5
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
    E5
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
     A5                      E5        A5     D5
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
D5
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
    E5
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
  A5                    E5          A5           D5
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink...

CHORUS:

            F5                            A5
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
                 D5                                 Bb5
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
    F5                                  A5
The time I've spent, working myself to death
                        D5                     Bb5
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
           F5                       A5
To make it good again, to makes us strong
            Bb5                 F5
To make you happy, to push you along
                                      A5
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
            Bb5                        F5
I was on my knees when you knocked me down

~Outgoing chord progression (during keyboard solo):
F5 - A5 - Bb( Bb5 is held for awhile, listen to the song) - F5
~or~
F-A7-Bb (again, held awhile), then play this descending progression, strumming each 
once: Bb, Am , Gm , F (Although I think this sounds a bit corny...up to you.)
