The entire song is simple chords with Dwight using hammer-on's for the base notes.
So the chords below correspond with the picking patterns above.
 
G
I blame the vain for what we wear,
                Am         C        G
And I blame the blind when we can't see.
           G
I blame it all on someone else,
                    Am    C                 G
Till there's nobody left, then I just blame me.
G
I blame her mind for the thoughts we share,
                      Am            C       G
Whoa, and I blame her heart for the time we cared.
           G
I blame it all on how we used to be,
                   Am    C                    G
Till she's finally gone, then I'll just blame me.
 
                D
So go ahead and blame,
    C             G
Anything that you want.
                          D
'Cause it all ends up the same,
         C                                   D
When everything that you've been claiming is wrong.
 
Instrumental Break: G G Am C G
 
                           D
Oh and don't you know that blame,
    C           G
Is always never enough.
                         D
It just keeps you in the game,
         C                            D
Till you've only got yourself left to bluff.
 
               G
So I blame the vain for what we wear,
                         Am         C        G
Yeah, and I'll blame the blind when we can't see.
              G
I'll blame it all on someone else,
                    Am    C                    G
Till there's nobody left, then I'll just blame me.
                   Am     C                G
Till she's fin'lly gone, then I just blame me
