   [G]  [G*]  [Em]  [Em*]  [C*] [C/G]  [C]
[Intro] Basic finger picking of the above chord shapes, listen to song to get the idea
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
This picking pattern more or less continues throughout the song, I've just listed the major chord changes [Verse 1]
           G                    
I need to find somebody who can tear me away

         Em                    
From the car crying babies and switchblade days

     G           
The bark of the unemployment hounds

        Em                      
And the thought of the thick, white skull on the ground
C* I won't die in the bony arms of the state
      Em 
To be laid to rest in the wake of the faded town

[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2 
[In the acoustic live versions, Scott throws in a couple of fills when picking the G chord]
[Verse 2]
           G
And if the raincoats come to steal my home

          Em
There's a big white house at the end of the road

      G
I can see you wrapped in Egyptian thread

     Em
In a marble garden, immune to the mess
C* If you leave this world in a rhinestone shroud
         Em 
We could finally make your father proud

[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2 
[Pre-Chorus] C* If I leave this world in a loaded daze Em C* I can finally have and eat my cake [Chorus]
          G 
I want to die like a rich boy diving

     Bm 
In a hydro-codone dream
C* You can die like a rich girl by me
           D            C
Oh how the magazines will grieve

     G
I'll die like a rich boy bathing

     Bm
In a milk bath I could drown
C* Want to die like a rich boy
                 D            C
Even if we're as poor as we are now

          G
I want to die like a rich boy drowning

     Bm
In a lake that bears my name
C* You can die like a rich girl by me
            D          C
Flushed and radiant with fame

        G
I wanna lie in a state on the TV

     Bm    
In a golden cardboard crown
C* Want to die like a rich boy
                 D            C
Even if we're as poor as we are now

[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2 
[Verse 3/Outro]
       G
Well I found you now so tear me away

         Em
From the feral street they lumped us in

G
I'll be Shakespeare's moon-struck king

       Em
We can lose our minds at the top of the hill
C* We burn cash and carry a decadent flame
    Em                            G
Way into the night and beyond the grave 

[G - G* - Em - Em* - G]
