Verse 1 - (accoustic) 

Just play same chords as intro (Em, Em11, Cmaj7)

Em  Em11          Cmaj7                  
You line them up, look at your shoes, 

                       Em             Em11        Cmaj7
You hang names on your wall, then you shoot them all, 

Em      Em11               Cmaj7
You fly around in planes that bring you down, to meet me, 

          Em   Em11                    Cmaj7  
Who loves you? like me crashing to the ground,
 

While the accoustic plays the chords, the electric plays this riff through out the verse:

E--------------------------------------------

D--------------5--------------5-----7p5------    as needed)
A--5--7--x--x-----x-----5--7-----7------7----

I used to treat you right, give you my time,

But when I turned my back on you,

Then you do what you do,

Em      Em11        Cmaj7                               Em

I'd like to shoot you all,
