This is just the chords with the two main riffs incorporated for when you're playing 
solo acoustic or something, thought it sounded pretty good.

First riff:
E---------------0-|
B--5--5/3--3-3--1-|
G--7--7/5--4-5--2-|
D---------------2-|
A---------------0-|
E-----------------|

Second riff, when the D chord is about to transition back to Amin:
E--3-3-2-0-2--0--|
B--3-3-3-2-3--1--|
G--2-2-2-3-2--2--|
D--0-0-0-0-0--2--|
A-------------0--|
E----------------|

simple enough. Chords:

DmHe (xx0231@1)looked dead into the boyfriend's eye
    EHis (022100@1)mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then



Those 4 chords repeat until the end where it returns to the Am C G format.
