[Verse 1]
 
C          F             Am          G
Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
C              F             Am          G
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
C           F             Am          G
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
         C       F           Am          G
From the perfect start to the finish line.
       C             F                   Am          G
And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
       C              F              Am          G
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
        C           F          Am    G
Setting fire to our insides for fun
           C            F              Am
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
    G
The lovers that went wrong.

[Verse 2]
 
C          F                   Am          G
We are the reckless, We are the wild youth
         C             F       Am   G
Chasing visions of our futures
C       F                Am     G
One day we'll reveal the truth
              C             F             Am   G
That one will die before he gets there.
       C            F                   Am            G
And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
       C            F                Am                 G
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
              C           F             Am  G
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
           C                 F                    Am
Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home, 
         G                             Am
It was a flood that wrecked this home.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F  G                 Am
       And you caused it, 
F  G                 Am
       And you caused it, 
F  G                 Am
       And you caused it
 
F G Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C                  F             Am          G
Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette, 
C          F               Am          G
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget, 
C          F             Am          G
My eyes are damp from the words you left, 
         C     F             Am          G
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
         C     F             Am          G
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
       C          F             Am          G
And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one, 
       C              F             Am      G
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
        C          F             Am   G
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
      C                     F             Am
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
          G                   Am
But I'm forever missing him.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F  G                 Am
       And you caused it, 
F  G                 Am
       And you caused it, 
F  G                 Am
       And you caused it
F  G                 Am
       And you caused it

I can see how the chord progression C F Am G works for... well the whole song but C Am F G sounds goofy and doesn't seem to work. I think you'd probably be safe playing C F Am G throughout the whole thing. Nice Chords tab though.

With a capo on the 5th fret, I play: Em7 (022030), Cadd9 (X32030), G (320033), Dsus2/F# (200230)

I'm playing it on a ukulele so perhaps it sounds different, but to me it sounds like: Em, F, (Am or C), G C, C, Am, G I like that Am and C both work for the 3rd verse chord, you can mix it up to add variation to the song.
