For ease, I put the main chords on the lyrics [Verse]
F    G                              F     G
My city sleeps by the side of a freeway, the city scraps

       F    G                       F
And winter time she wore a yellow coat

 G
Now there's nothin' on her back

         F      G                          F      G
If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice unless you were in it

      F      G                      F      G
Then no one cares about climbin' stairs, nothin' at the top no more
[Chorus]
  G                       F     G
Outside trippin' in the broken city

  G                       F     G                       Eb
Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack

  G                       F     G
Outside trippin' in the broken city

  G                       F     G                    Eb
Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that

 C
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo...
[Verse]
          F    G                                  F
Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean

  G                       F      G                                F
Dead and empty by the railroad tracks where they used to go and come

           G
Now they don't come back

          F       G                       F
You can heal the rust, goin' up the throughways

 G                           F         G               F
Down the alleys where they stole this town from the frontier

        G
I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back
[Chorus]
  G                       F     G                               F     G
Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

  G                       F     G                       Eb
Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack

  G                       F     G                               F     G
Outside kickin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

  G                       F     G                    Eb
Outside trippin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that

C
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

C
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
[Instrumental] F G (X3) [Verse]
 F       G                                   F
Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map

  G
Anymore

       F         G                                   F
When it's cold outside I see it hide behind the smokestacks

         G             F         G
No thin roses, no goldrush, no miner, no revolution they'd hire

           F              G
And the shipyard is a graveyard, no one will be trying to find him
[Outro]
  G                       F     G                               F     G
Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

  G                       F     G                       Eb
Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack

  G                       F     G                               F     G
Outside kickin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

  G                       F     G                    Eb
Outside trippin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that

  F     G                               F        G
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo (There's nothin' wrong with that)

   F     G                                 F                     G
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo do (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

     F    G           F    G           F   G            F    G
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
