This is a beautiful song. Fairly easy to. I'm about sure this is 99& accurate,
you can fiddle with 7ths and what not but just have fun with and sing and it with feeling.
BTW don't forget that Am in the instrumental.

D          A             Em7
the poison makes its way through my body slowly 

D      A                Em7   
to the pleasure centers of my brain 

D           A             Em7              G
if you were here i would admit that i'm an asshole

Em7          D        Em7          G     Em7       D               A    Asus4   A
