This is what I've figured after listening the acoustic & album version of the
song. The other tabs were close, but a couple chords were off. Comments and corrections welcome :)
Strumming for verses: d-dud-du-ud--udu (listen to it, you'll see what i mean)

Intro: Gm
Verse I:
GmAbout as subtle as an earCmthquake, I know
my Fmistakes were made for Gmyou
(Gm) Cm
& in the back room of a bad dream she came
F& whisked me away aGmnd fused
(Gm) Gm
& it's as solid as a rock rolling down a hill
the Cmfact is that it prob'ly will hit Fsomething
on the hazardous Gmterrain
(Gm) Gm
& we're just following the flock 'round and in between
Cmbefore we're smashed to smithereens like Fthey were
and we scramble from the D7blame
Chorus:
(D7) Cm
& it's the fame that put words in her mouth
she D7couldn't help but spit 'em out
Cminnocence & arrogaD7nce entwined in the filthiestGm of minds
Verse II:
GmShe was bitten on her Cmbirthday and now
a Fface in the crowd she's Gmnot
Gm& I suspect that nowCm forever the shape
she Fcame to escape is forD7got

& it's a lot to ask her not to sting
&aD7mp; give her less than ev'rything
aCmround your crooked conscience she will D7wind

Dminnocence & arrogance entwined.
