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

Verse 1:

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


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


Verse 2

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


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