How They Made Us Cifras

Hey guys,
 
Here's a song off Wil Wagner's new EP Laika, called "How They Made Us".  This is
just a rough idea, but seems to sound pretty good both with the song and on it's own.
 
I don't know the names of any chords in Open C, but use below for reference
Also high F is hammered on here and there, listen for timing.

Verse 1
 
E                                                     D
It's a midwinter Friday and there's not a car on this highway
 
                                 C
That wouldn't hit me just to get home.
 
                                                        B
I'm riding punch lines and dregs from the pouch that we split
somewhere back on Punt Road.
 
E                                    D
And the big neon signs they all intertwine
 
                                              C
With the passing cars' headlights burning my eyes.
 
                                             B
In this city of excuses, dead palm trees and useless transport,
 
          A                    B
I use my legs to get to you on time.
 
 
Chorus
 
    A                          B                          C
But silence speaks louder than words that we don't understand,
 
               E           D           A
And I know the language is made out of
 
         B                       C
One upmanship and slight of hand.
 
          A    B    C                              A
But it's all we've got to explain how they made us,
 
E         D                A
Unable to explain how they made us.
 
E         D               E   D   C  B
Unable to explain how they
 
 
Verse 2
 
E                                        D
And I'm naked except for donations, rank revelations,
 
                                    C
My own bad behavior, pissing off the neighbours.
 
                                            B
Lying to colleagues about how interesting I am,
 
                                     E
Just so part of me is nothing like them and
 
                                         D
The clubs up on Swan Street pulse to the backbeat of violence and sadness 
 
              C
and god awful sweat heat.
 
                                                 B
They tarnish reputations and they smash up train stations,
So angry they forgot what they were angry about.
 
A                                   B
This city is a punching bag for the punished to let something out.
 
A                    B                    E              D           C
But how can you stay mad when the red sun spits straight through the clouds 
 
     B
like this?
 
        A
And the cold bites my skin.
 
    B
And you bit my upper lip.
 
 
Chorus 2
 
    A                          B                          C
But silence speaks louder than words that we don't understand,
 
               E           D            A
And I know the language is made out of
 
         B                       C
One upmanship and slight of hand.
 
          A    B    C                              A
But it's all we've got to explain how they made us,
 
  E         D                A
Unable to explain how they made us.
 
  E         D             C
Unable to explain how they
