You can find the chord explanations below for the main part of the song, it 
looks more advanced then it is. Then for the guitar 2 part of the Interlude,  
it's easier if you watch the tutorial, I have tablature and chords on screen. 



[Intro]: G5 G5/C G5/E G5/C x2

G5              G5/C                    G5/E                    G5/C
All this feels strange and untrue, and I won't waste a minute without you
G5            G5/C                        G5/E                   G5/C
My bones ache, my skin feels cold, and I'm getting so tired and so old
G5        G5/C                    G5/E                        G5/C
The anger swells in my guts, and I won't feel these slices and cuts
G5              G5/C                      G5/E                  G5/C
I want so much to open your eyes, 'cause I need you to look into mine

G5                G5/C           G5/E                 G5/C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes, tell me that you'll open your eyes
G5                G5/C           G5/E                 G5/C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes, tell me that you'll open your eyes

G5                   G5/C                              G5/E                        G5/C
Get up, get out, get away from these liars, 'cause they don't get your soul or your fire
G5                     G5/C                            G5/E                             G5/C
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine, and we'll walk from this dark room for the last time
G5                G5/C                   G5/E                G5/C
Every minute from this minute now, we can do what we like anywhere
G5              G5/C                      G5/E                  G5/C
I want so much to open your eyes, 'cause I need you to look into mine

G5                G5/C           G5/E                 G5/C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes, tell me that you'll open your eyes
G5                G5/C           G5/E                 G5/C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes, tell me that you'll open your eyes
G5                G5/C           G5/E                 G5/C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes, tell me that you'll open your eyes
G5                G5/C           G5/E                 G5/C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes, tell me that you'll open your eyes
