(There may be some variations and embellishments but its close enough to get started!)
Verses
Option 1:
Am Dm (x4) the Big E (I play with open e string in Barr position (7th fret)
Option 2 (What I hear the verse as, based off of 06/06/09 version):
Am D (or D7) (x4) E (or E7) (still with open low E string)
Chorus ("Got a blank space where my mind should be")
Am and D with bend below
Jam on these chords and end it on the Big E
(I believe they change to a D in order to facilitate the Jam - but it might be a D5 or some other variant. I use a A Dorian scale for some reason but I am sure you could use a Am Scale or A pentatonic)

Am G Am D
I got a blank space where my mind should be, got a cliff bar and some cold green tea.
Am G Am D
Got clouds that seem to follow me, got strange demands all up on me
E D E D E (little end of intro noodle here)
Got memories, got memories, got memories, memories of being free…
Gonna steal time from the faulty plan, gonna act as though I’m still a man.
Gonna give you one last chance to see, gonna shrug demands off of me
Gonna dream, gonna dream, gonna dream, gonna dream, dream of being free…
E D
Gonna steal time from the faulty plan, steal time from the faulty plan
E D
Gonna steal time from the faulty plan, stealing time from the faulty plan

I think this offers more accurate chords than above:

Ok... This song is only Aminor to D, with an E7 (with open low E) in the middle to spice it up. References to Dminor, C/E, E/G#, or G are wrong. don't complicated things guys. This is a simple song. Thanks
