When he plays the Em6 chord he adds and removes a finger on the G string. 
This is hard to explain so I'll show you, as this is repeated throughout the song.

Game Shows Touch Our Lives
-----------------------------------------

Em6 C F (4x)

Em6
 Dug up a fifth of Hood River gin
C
 That stuff tastes like medicine
         F       C
But I'll take it
      Em6
It'll do
       Em6
On the couch in the living room all day long
   C
Music on the television playing our song
             F    C
I'm in the mood
             Em6
The mood for you

Em6 C F (2x)

Em6
 Turn the volume up real high
  C
All of that money look at it fly
          F  C                   Em6
And you smoking like a chimney
Em6
Shadows crawled across the living room's length
 C
I held onto you with a desperate strength
        F    C                 Em6
With everything with everything in me
       D                        C
And I handed you a drink of a lovely little thing
   Em6
On which our survival depends
D                            C
People say friends don't destroy one another
                          D
What do they know about friends?

Em6  C  F (4x)

Em6
Thunderclouds forming cream white moon
  C
Everything's going to be okay soon
         F     C
Maybe tomorrow
          Em6
Maybe the next day
Em6
Carried you up the stairs that night
       C
All of this could be yours if the price is right
        F                   C
I heard cars headed down to oblivion
             Em6
Up on the expressway
D
Your drunken kisses as light as the air
       C                                     Em6
Maybe everything that falls down eventually rises
D
Our house sinking into disrepair
         C                                           Em6
Ah but look at this showroom filled with fabulous prizes
