I figured out the chords by watching a live performance.  You can check out the video
on www.vh1.com.  Search Dashboard Confessional then go down their page to videos and
click on videos and go to Vindicated (live@vh1.com).  Its an incredible performance
by Christopher Carrabba.

Intro: E  C#5  B5  x3 


Verse (palm-mute chords):
E5                E5/C#     
Hope dangles on a string
                     E5/B
Like slow spinning redemption
                       A5add2
Winding in and winding out
                              E5
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
   E5/C            E5/B
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
     A5add2 
I am captivated


Chorus:
     E
I am Vindicated
     AsusAdd2
I am selfish

I am wrong
     C#5
I am right

I swear I'm right
          B5
I swear I knew it all along
         E 
And I am flawed 
         AsusAdd2
But I am cleaning up so well
     C#5                             B5  
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

  
Verse (palm-mute chords): 
   E5
So clear
                         E5/C#
Like the diamond in your ring
                     E5/B 
Cut to mirror your intentions
                  A5add2
Oversized and overwhelmed
                                 E5
The shine of which has caught my eye
                   E5/C#        E5/B
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
     A5add2
I am certain now that


[Chorus]     


Verse:
   A
So turn
                       C#5
Up the corners of your lips
                             B5
Part them and feel my finger tips
                       B5 
Trace the moment, fall forever
                 C#5
Defense is paper thin
                          B5
Just one touch and I'd be in
                                      Asus TAB         TAB
Too deep now to ever swim against the current          E--------------------
Asus           E                                       B--------------------

               C#5                                     D--2-2/4-4-42-------
So let me slip away                                    A--0-0h2-2-2
