Verses:
An A chord palm-muted on the album throughout the first two bars in Verse 1,
live he tends to mess around in (I think) the A major scale with delay
instead of just strumming the chord. On the last measure of the 2nd bar on
the album version, let up on the palm-mute and just strum the A chord
aggressively until the end of the first bar. Then progress into the
main verse melody:

D|----------6----7----4----6--------------6----7----4----6------------|
A|------------------------------7-----------------------------7-------|

Pre-chorus:
Two chords, D and A. From the limited amount of videos I've seen
it looks like he plays them like this:
* = staccato
e|----5*----5--5*----5--5*--------5-5-5-5*----5--5*----5--5*-----|
B|----5*----5--5*----5--5*--------5-5-5-5*----5--5*----5--5*-----|
G|----6*----7--6*----7--6*--------7-7-7-6*----7--6*----7--6*-----|
D|----7*----7--7*----7--7*--------7-7-7-7*----7--7*----7--7*-----|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
Chorus:
(this is the best I could come up with)
* = this is the note I'm unsure of
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------12*----------12*-|
G|--------------6---------6---------6--------6----------12*----------12*-|
D|----------7-6-------7-6-------7-6------7-6-----------------------------|

e|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
G|--------6---------6-------|
D|----7-6-------7-6---------|
A|--------------------------|
E|-5---------5--------------| (end the chorus on an A chord)
Repeat Intro
Verse 2 (Straight into riff, no A chord intro)
Repeat Pre-chorus
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3 (Strum A palm-muted the whole verse)
Repeat Pre-chorus
Repeat Chorus x2 (minus the open E's at the beginning the 2nd time)
Outro:
e|--17xx17xx17xx17xx17xx17xx17xx17-etc...-|
B|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|
D|--------(you get the idea)--------------|
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
Also, the outro could be an octave part, I'm not sure though.
In which case, it would look like this:
e|--17xx-17xx-17xx-17xx-17xx-17xx-17xx-17-etc...-|
B|--x-xx-x-xx-x-xx-x-xx-x-xx-x-xx-x-xx-x---------|
G|--14xx-14xx-14xx-14xx-14xx-14xx-14xx-14--------|
D|-----------------------------------------------|

E|-----------------------------------------------|
[Hook]
You've got your guards and they've got their guns
They're overworked, and you've never, ever won a thing
In your life
[Verse One]
I've got my dreams, and I've got my sleep
And I've been promised a pill that's gonna keep
These visions of an empire at peace
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
[Chorus]
Oh, my God
You're the one I've been holding out
For, for so damn long, for so damn long
And you're a far cry from an empire at peace
[Verse Two]
I've got my knives and my heart up my sleeves
But this weather's getting too nice for me
To keep an empire at peace
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
[Chorus]
Oh, my God
You're the one I've been holding out
For, for so damn long, for so damn long
And you're a far cry from an empire...
[Hook]
You've got your guards and they've got their guns
They're overworked, and you've never, ever won a thing
In your life
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
[Chorus]
Oh, my God
You're the one I've been holding out
For, for so damn long, for so damn long
Hey!
Oh, my God
You're the one I've been holding out
For, for so damn long, for so damn long

You've got your guards and they've got their guns
They're overworked, and you've never, ever won a thing
In your life
[Verse One]
I've got my dreams, and I've got my sleep
And I've been promised a pill that's gonna keep
These visions of an empire at peace
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me
[Chorus]
Oh, my God
You're the one I've been holding out
For, for so damn long, for so damn long
And you're a far cry from an empire at peace
[Verse Two]
I've got my knives and my heart up my sleeves
But this weather's getting too nice for me
To keep an empire at peace
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause my heart is my keep

For, for so damn long, for so damn long
And you're a far cry from an empire...

'Cause my heart is my keep
And you are threatening me

For, for so damn long, for so damn long
Hey!
Oh, my God
You're the one I've been holding out
