I'd be thankful if anyone could to the tabs for the second guitar played during chorus.:)     
I'm playing it without a capo, but i'll write the chords with capo on 1st fret too -> scroll down!

Play D# like that: an easier way to change between Cm and D#

Verse:                   Cm            D#  (or G#m7)
I think the kids are in trouble
           Em                      A
Do not know what all the troubles are for
                  Cm              D#                      
Give them ice for their fevers
           Em                    A
You're the only thing I ever want anymore

2nd Verse = Same chords like 1st. 
We live on coffee and flowers
Try not to wonder what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep

Chorus: 
          Cm                 D#              G#           Cm
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
  D#    G#
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything

3rd Verse same chords like 1st verse (Cm D# Fm Bb)
It's a Hollywood summer
You'll never believe the shitty thoughts I think
Meet our friends out for dinner
When I said what I said I didn't mean anything

4th V same chords like 1st verse
We belong in a movie
Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone
We should swim in a fountain
Do not want to disappoint anyone

Same chords as for 1st Chorus
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything

Bridge: 
  D#    Cm    Gm      Bb
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
  D#    Cm    Gm      Bb
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
  D#    Cm    Gm      Bb
'Cause I'm evil
  D#    Cm    Gm      Bb
'Cause I'm evil

Verse: same chords as 1st (Cm  D#  Fm Bb)
I'm a confident liar
Have my head in the oven so you know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I want to believe in everything you believe

Verse: same chords as 1st 
I was less than amazing
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore

Chorus (Cm D#  G#)
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything

Outro = Bridge: D# Cm Gm Bb)
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
