There are already accurate chords for this song, but this is just an easier fingering.
Em              B
short delay the parrot blues,

D             D         
little voices mimick you,

 B                            D     
it's not so hard to make that sound,

Em                  B
so watch your back, the Ides of March,

D                  D         
cut your hair like Joan of Arc, 

B                                    D
disguise your will, they'll find you out,

              B
and when they do...

     D  D
look out

              D                  D
there's money lenders inside the temple

           D                        D
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart

             B                D
something so wild turned into paper

if I loved you, well that's my fault
--
Em              B    
a bitchin heat, the alpha male,   

D                   D          
not something she'd ever tell,

B                           D  
except when she got deathly high,

    Em               B         
and out it came like summer rain,

D                   D        
washed the cars and everything,

B                            D
felt clean for just a little while

      B               D     D
a telephone, we drunk dialed
--
             D                     D
the starving children they ain't got no mother

there's pink flamingos living in the mall

           B                  D
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial

        Am                          D
if just somebody would just take my call

        Am   D
take my call,

        Am   D
take my call,

D
hello? 

                               D
patterns in my mind now moving slow

                               D
sorrow all across the surface rolls

                               D
smoothing out the edges of the stone

                                     Am                               
the lights are out where'd everybody go?

D   B
hello?
--
Em                 B                           
erase yourself and you'll be free

D                 D
mendola destroyed by the sea

B                     D
all we are is colored sand

Em                 B
so pay to ride the ferris wheel

D              D              B                       D
smile all that you can feel is gratitude for what has been

           B   D   D
cuz it did not happen

there's money lenders inside the temple

           D                        D
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart

             B              D
something so wild turned into paper

       Am                         D
If you loved me, well that's your fault

there's money lenders inside the temple

this crystal city's gonna fall apart

               B               D
when all their power turns into vapor,

     Am                      D
If I loved you well that's my fault,

               Am    D
well that's my fault

               Am    D
well that's my fault
