This is probably one of the easiest ways to play this song.
I did a cover of this song online and someone asked me to post the tab here so here it is.
If you're struggling with the strumming, here is the cover I made:

The original song is on capo 4, though the cover I made is in on capo 6 to fit my voice

[Intro]
Em D/A C/G D/A
[Verse 1]
Em D/A
These streets aren't paved with gold
C/G D/A
Don't believe everything that you're told
Em D/A
Deception hides in all you see
C/G D/A
Corruption hangs in the air that you breathe
Am
And in the land of the free
C/G Am
You know nothing comes for free
C/G
Fourth drive in paradise
D/A Em
Vapid souls check the market price
Em
Life time slave
D/A
Living in a suburban grave
C/G
If there was a god, was a god
D/A
You would be the death of him
[Chorus]
Em
These colours don't run
D/A
Like colours from the face
C/G
Eyes roll back chemical despair
Am C/G D/A
It's true what they say life isn't fair
Em Em
So repeat this line, everything, everything is fine
Em Em
So repeat this line, everything, everything is fine
C/G D/A
[Instrumental]
Em
[Chorus]
Em
These colours don't run
D/A
Like colours from the face
C/G
Eyes roll back chemical despair
D/A
It's true what they say life isn't fair
[Verse 2]
Am
And in the land of the free
C/G
You know nothing comes for free
[Breakdown]
Em
[Bridge]
Em
I'm struggling to find any poetry in this
Em
Someone beat me to the line ignorance is bliss
Em
So I guess I'll just say it how it is
Em
You had it all, you fucking pigs!
Em Em Em Em
Am Em C/G D/A
(x2)
Em Am
These streets aren't paved with gold
Em C/G D/A
Don't believe everything that you're told
Em
Deception hides in all you see
Em Em
Corruption hangs in the air that you breathe
Em
