*G6sus4 played as C chords still sounds fine to me, also C/G (as per video)
There's a little variation scattered throughout the song if you care to throw it in...

[Intro]
G6sus4 Em (x3)
D/F#
[Verse 1]
G6sus4 Em It was a close call G6sus4 Em Sitting in the back of the room G6sus4 With a bowl you had owned Em D/F# C But they didn't know Em Closing on my black eye C Em C Feel safe at times Em C Certain emblems Em D/F# Tell me it's time
[Chorus]
C Em D/F# Serpents in my mind C Em D/F# Looking for your crimes C Em D/F# Everything changes C Em D/F# I don't want mine to this time
[Verse 2]
C Em You enjoy sucking on dreams C Em So I will fall asleep with someone other than you C Em D/F# I had a thought you would take me seriously C Em D/F# And listen on
[Chorus]
C Em D/F# Serpents in my mind C Em D/F# C I'm searching for your crimes Em D/F# Everything changes C In time
[Verse 3]
Em You'll stay frozen in time C Collaging girls Em C Controlling minds Em You hold the mirror well D/F# C Em D/F# To everybody else
[Chorus]
C Em D/F# Serpents in my mind C Em D/F# C Trying to forgive your crimes Em D/F# C Everyone changes in time Em D/F# C Em I hope he changes this time
[Outro]
