Chorus 

It looks a bit strange, but it's really just an 
A barre chord with the thumb on the bass note, and an A6 
when using that pinky on the 7th fret.

A|----------------|----------------|
E|5-----5---------|5---5---5-------|
                   false eye lashes...

And that's the gist of it, with some minor variation here and there.
The outro is basically just a slowed down intro, with some 
embellishments round the E major chord.
