Verse (open strings under the C power chord for that nice jangle):

Figure A:

"I'll be grazing by your window... Please come pat me on the head"

D|--5--|--0--|--2--|--4--|

Figure B:

Pre-Chorus:

Before the change to Am, try lifting off the treble e for a nice transition.

"I know you don't have the patience...to peel them off no more"

Chorus:

*Make sure to mute the bass E with your thumb on the D5 chord!*
If you can't get your little finger over to the 5th fret, you can play the treble e open.
(but it doesn't sound as good).

"In a jar where you keep me...all I could do was lick your hand"
"In a jar the scars are plain to see...I hope somehow you'll know I understand"

Solo: 
Here's an approximation of the solo c/o oldskool11221 + Sam Duckitt

Mash that whammy bar.
