During the Chorus, you can optionally walk down from the B7 to the Em.

This will be denoted by an asterisk (*). You can also get the same effect by simply
and playing:
e|-----------------|
B|-----------------|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|--2--0--0--0--2--|
E|--0--0--3--2--0--|
muting all other strings
This is optional but I think it adds something, especially if you do not have a bassist
with you to play that
walk on the bass.
[Intro]
Em B7 Em B7 Em B7
[Verse 1]
Em
Candle lights and empty souls
Am
Quietly behind the doors
C B7 Em B7
Are bleeding us just for fun
Em
Men of power telling lies
Am
Shifty hands and thirsty eyes
C B7 Em B7
And they can smell your fear like blood
[Chorus]
Em Am B7
And Oh my weary soul
B7 Em
We've met your kind before
Am B7*
Set fire to us all
Em Am B7
And Oh sweet providence
B7 Em
Come save us from ourselves
Am B7*
From hell and consequence

Feed the rich and kill the poor
Am
Turn out the lights and just ignore

What's going on outside

Beating hearts of the depraved
Am
We've turned their people into slaves
C B7 Em B7
And we've given up before we've even tried

Em Am B7
And Oh my weary soul

From hell and consequence

From hell and consequence
