Not sure which version you're working with here, where there's a break between verses. Rather than moving things around to fit the one I've got, I'll just mention that he goes C Em E Am F C.

C
we sat together on the porch,
E
as the sunset bled
Am                                            F
and you playfully leveled your semi-automatic handgun right at my head
C                                             F
and then god, in another stroke of his genius,
                           C
he opened up the floodgates
                      F
and the bulls came out
                      G
and the bulls came out

C E Am F C G 

C
we heard the heavy hooves beating on the earth
E
as the moment came near
Am
i felt the chamber of your pistol kissing my jaw
F
i felt your red lips brushing my ear
            C                   F  
and then god, convincing if not transparent in his motives,
                           C
he opened up the floodgates

but the rivers were dry, 'cause it was late august
                      F
and the bulls came out
                      G
and the bulls came out
