I drug my heart with doublespeak,
Cm        Bb(Gm)      Ab    Fm
All my misgivings disappear

It helps to keep my conscience clean 
              Ab          Fm
The ends will justify the means
    Cm               Bb(Gm)         Ab     Fm
But still I'm always careful what I hear
 
 
Continue with that progression and end on Cm
 
Little Outro:
 
These are the root notes of that little part played by one guitar at the very end.
