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
