Am = x-0-2-2-1-0
F = x-3-3-2-1-0
C = x-3-2-0-1-0
G = 3-2-0-0-3-3

Am
'Cuz I know that time has numbered my days
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
And I'll go along with everything you say
Am
But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
The walls of my town, they come crumbling down
Am
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
And I know their choices color all I've done
Am
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
I never lived a year better spent in love
Am G F C
'Cuz I know my weakness know my voice
Am G F C G~
So now believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is farce
Am G F C G~
But I'll be born without a mask
Woo!
| C | C | C | Riff 1 | 2x
Am
Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
I stretch my arms into the sky
Am
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down
Am
You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
As all we see will slip into the cloud
Am
So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
You know our breath is weak and our body thin
Am F C
Press my nose up to the glass around your heart
Am F C
I should've known I was weaker from the start
Am F C G F
You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
C G C
To tear, tear them down
Am F C
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
Am G F C
'Cuz I know my weakness know my voice
Am G F C G
So now believe in grace and choice
Am G F C
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
Am G F C G
But I'll be born without a mask

The "know my weakness know my voice" part should beF-G-Am-C then F-G-Am-G but besides that this is perfect.
I'm pretty sure the Riff goes like this (these are just the chord changes...it keeps the same strumming pattern as the rest of the song)
e|--0---0---0---0---0---0---0-0-0|
B|--1---1---1---1---1---1---1-1-1|
G|--0---0---2---0---0---0---2-0-0| X 2
D|--2---0---0---0---2---0---0-0-3|
A|--3---3---3---3---3---3---3-3-3|
E|--x---x---x---x---x---x---x-x-x|
With this change and the change from nexteyenate it should be pretty much 100%, good job!
