I recommend finger picking the chord throughout the verses and chorus, include the riffs when indicated [Intro] G C (x4) [Verse 1]
G         C               G         C
Somewhere dark before the sun comes up

          C      C/B Am7            G
Where the blinds are closed and the doors are shut

    Em                            G
I reduce you to the rubble in the bottom of my cup

       D                               G
'Til I cannot tell the poison from the pain
[Verse 2]
G          C                    G                 C
Somewhere, dawn, the stores are closed out by the beach

        C     C/B        Am7                   Riff 1
I could spray paint your name, no one would see

    Em                            G
I reduce you to the poison in the bottom of my cup

        D                               Riff 1
'Til it washes all my worries out to sea
[Chorus]
       Em            D               G
And my demons, that got so bored of dreamin'

   Em      D           G
My demons, alcohol and freedom

  Em
A King without a Queen

                 D        G
A King without a kingdom
[Verse 3]
G        C         G        C
I was so bad on my own

        C      C/B     Am7                  G
Drawing maps inside my soul to places where nobody goes

     Em                              G
Woke up confused, just staring at my telephone

        D                                 Riff 1
Waiting like I'd ever hear your voice again
[Verse 4]
G           C     G        C
I feel that empty low

    C        C/B    Am7            G
Sometimes it is so jagged, I don't know what love is for

 Em                               G
Alone like I don't know how to survive and insane

       D                               G
'Til I cannot tell the poison from the pain
[Verse 5]
G         C                   G        C
I used to think that you were me

   C       C/B    Am7               G
Pretending every sentence from your mouth was melody

  Em                                G
A tune so turbulent that it cracked open every key

     D                            Riff 2
'Til everything was broken that I played
[Verse 6]
G           C         G        C
Your father stood and cried

       C        C/B     Am7             G
On the day your brother married someone that he could rely on

   Em                                G
No one could heal his heart, whoever made you cry

   D                              Riff 1
So I became the poison and the pain
[Chorus]
       Em           D               G
And my demons, they got so bored of dreamin'

Em      D           G
Demons, alcohol and freedom

  Em
A King without a Queen

                 D        G
A King without a kingdom

  Em
A King without a Queen

                 D        G
A King without a kingdom
[Outro] G
