I found out some of the missing chords that he labeled 1 and 2, then put them here.

Verse 1:

C5                    A5
Paramedics brave and strong
D5    C5                 G5
Up before the break of dawn
C5                    A5
Putting poker faces on
D5         C5               G5
Broken bodies all day long
    F5                   A5
The neighbors heard the fight
F5             A5
Someone had a knife
   F          C       Am-----Em
It must have been the wiiiiiife
A5         C5            F5
Husband's lost a lot of blood
D5               C5           G5
He wakes up screaming oh my god


           C5               A5
Am I gonna die, am I gonna die?
         D5           C5                 G5
As they strapped his arms down to the sides
           C5                            A5
Times like these they've been taught to lie
       D5         C5              G5
Buddy just calm down you'll be alright


Verse 2

C5                           A5
Several friends came to his grave
     D5          C5                G5
His children were so well behaved
C5                          A5
As the priest got up to speak
D5     C5                   G5
The assembly craved relief
    C5                     A5
But he himself had given up
    D5          C5                G5
So instead he offered them this bitter cup


             C5
You're gonna die
                A5
We're all gonna die
         D5     C5
Could be twenty years
               G5
Could be tonight
        C5                     A5
Lately I have been wondering why
         D5        C5
We go to so much trouble
        D5              A5
To postpone the unavoidable
        D5       C5             G5
And prolong the pain of being alive
