Sorry about some of the awkward spacing, I did my best to represent where the rests are in the words.
Listen to the song to get the right rhythm and strum pattern.

First part of song is slightly palm muted

INTRO: C F x2

C                                 F                C
    I spent my life drifting to things that fall apart 
C                                 F                C
              As soon as it gets hard
G                                         C           F
We live without leaders, but now there's nobody to steer
C                    G            C               F
       Captains go down with the ship, my friend, but there's no captains here

C                                 F               C
     There's no petition we can sign to end poverty
C                                  F             C
      Or to make "no" a word with teeth
               G                              C              F  
I know there's not enough windows on this planet to break us free
C              G            C             F
     But maybe one will be just enough      for some dignity

*Stop palm muting here*

    Just do the dirt and walk away and don't say shit
C                             F               C
    My momma didn't raise no snitch
     G                            C               F        
If anybody asks, well then I've never heard your name 
C         G              C            F          
     No rest for the wicked till         we've crossed the state

G                     F                          C
And common decency may lead us through a prison cell
                           G
Basic goodness take us to hell
F                              G
But since we'll all return to dirt
                         
Let's bring some stories for the worms

    We don't know when but the days will come again 
C                                   F             C
    That their courts can't hold us in
       G                                C            F
We'll stand our ground no matter how many police appear
C                G             C              F           
    Captains go down with the ship, my friend, and we're all captains here
