Chords

Not really a chord song so you can get a bit creative - the song is in E minor with a moving bassline, these chords follow that bass - if you wanted to keep it simpler you can just focus on the Em and CM7. The D chord is a little funky, you could get away with D major, I would just slide the CM7 shape up two frets giving you a kind of D6add4 (labelled as GM7/D below - you can substitude this with GM7 or Em9) (you can give it a bit more depth by adding the A on the 6th string or leave it muted/open) I think you could have some fun with this by bringing some dark/neo-folk chord voicings, so leave the top three strings open and try moving shapes around the bottom three strings. You can also change the CM7 to Cadd9 sometimes to emphasise the 7th of the key, especially towards the end.

Oh~          the way I     cast a net

Emadd2 Em CM7     GM7/D     CM7/G
Too many  holes to swim through

As~           to not offend the    fish

Even if they  do  want   you

Em    Emadd2 Em       CM7  GM7/D CM7/G
Safer not to presume

Em     Emadd2 Em  CM7        GM7/D  CM7
Safer still,      to  up and leave  the room

Is even eye  contact rude?

Too gutless to even try this

In case I'm  met with a hostile silence

Em Emadd2 Em CM7   GM7/D    CM7/G
