Version 1 Version 3
            I noticed the chords on some of the other links were off, and I decided to put 
together a correct version. Played along to the song, sounds good.
I don't take credit for this, its mix and matched from the others who have posted.
Chords Used:
- Em
- D/F#
- G
- Csus2
- GM7/C
- Am
- F#
- B
A C can be substituted for the Csus2 and GM7/C to simplify.
[Intro]
| Em     D/F#  |   G    -   |  Csus2  |  GM7/C  |
[Verse 1]
Em     D/F#     G
Send away for a priceless gift
Csus2           GM7/C
One not subtle, One not on the list.
Em     D/F#     G
Send away for a perfect world
Csus2         GM7/C
One not simply so absurd.
Em      D/F#      G
In these times of doing what you're told
Csus2              GM7/C
Keep these feelings, no one knows.
Am                       Em
Whatever happened to the young man's heart.
Am                       G            B
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.
[Chorus]
Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
C                             
Swimming through the ashes of another life.
Em                  D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45.
[Instrumental Break]
| Em     D/F#  |   G    -   |  Csus2  |  GM7/C  |
[Verse 2]
Em     D/F#     G
Send a message to the unborn child
Csus2           GM7/C
Keep your eyes open for a while
Em     D/F#     G
In a box high up on the shelf
Csus2         GM7/C
Left for you no one else
Em      D/F#      G
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Csus2              GM7/C
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
Am                       Em
Whatever happened to the young man's heart.
Am                       G            B
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.
[Chorus]
Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
C                             
Swimming through the ashes of another life.
Em                  D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45.
[Bridge]
           B                      C
Everyone's pointing their fingers
       B            C
Always condemning me
       B
Nobody knows what
  Em   D/F#    G
I believe
  Csus2    GM7/C
I believe
[Chorus]
Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
C                             
Swimming through the ashes of another life.
Em                  D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45.
Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
C                             
Swimming through the ashes of another life.
Em                  D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45.
