Made a correction here to add in all the nuances of the song. It could still be wrong, but this is how I
remember learning it and it looks like this is how he plays it on the MTV unplugged version

[Verse]
E             F#m                C#m                    A
Consider the odds, consider the obvious, the martyr is meaningless,
                 E                    F#m                    C#m
the campaign has died. In the planning stages and the fallen faces,
                 A                       E
are the singular proof that it was ever alive.
               F#m                C#m                     A
This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded
            E    F#m           C#m           A
and left to die, championless, championless, championless
 
 
[Chorus 1]
E*           B          A*             A
I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.
E*               B              A*                    A
Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.
E*           B          A*              A
I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.
E*             B             A*                           A
Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                 F#m             C#m            A
Hope has sprung a perfect dive, a perfect day, a perfect lie
E               F#m       C#m            A
A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat.
E               F#m                C#m                     A
This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded
            E    F#m           C#m           A
and left to die, championless, championless, championless
 
 
[Chorus 2]
E*           B          A*             A
I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.
E*               B              A*                    A
Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.
E*           B          A*            A
I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.
E*             B             A*                           A
Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

[Bridge]
(The rhythm changes a little here. The easiest way to play this is to play the first 4 chords as D DU)
 
        E**     F#     A**      G#/A       A
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
E**     F#      A**    G#/A   A
Basking in your victory,      hollow and alone
   E**       F#      A**     G#/A       A
to boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen
             E**       F#      A**    G#/A A
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
