For the Em in the chorus, you can also play (2x022x), that is how they play it in the live version. I think the normal Em sounds better if you're playing it solo. I'm sure the chord names are inaccurate, so if anyone knows them, feel free to correct them :). [Verse]
G/A
We all lie just to get by
It feels fine for a little while
Bm
I can't keep it up for long
Cause I'm spinning a web and I'm stuck and it's fucked
G/A
But I know this will hurt

                Bm
Cause when I'm hurt, I treat you worse
[Chorus]
           Em                G
I miss your skin, I miss your touch

          Bm
I never thought it'd hurt this much

               A
I hate this feeling in my gut

                Em                        G
I wish you would quit me, I wish you would just leave

              Bm
Cause I can never walk away

             A
And so it's up to you to break me
[Verse] G/A Bm
G/A
And I'll try to say goodbye
I'll be fast to save you time
Bm
I can't help but stay the night
You're alarmed and you're hurt and I just make it worse
      G/A
When I run through your veins

                  Bm
Cause when I'm hurt, I treat you worse
[Chorus]
           Em                G
I miss your skin, I miss your touch

          Bm
I never thought it'd hurt this much

               A
I hate this feeling in my gut

                Em                        G
I wish you would quit me, I wish you would just leave

              Bm
Cause I can never walk away

             A
And so it's up to you to break me
[Bridge] G/A Bm
         G/A
You can have my body, just not my soul
Can't give what's not mine anymore
Bm
Have my body, just not my soul

         G/A
You can have my body, I've lost control
Can't live on my own anymore
Bm
Have my body, just not my soul

G/A
Have my body, but not my soul

Bm
Have my body, but not my soul
[Chorus]
           Em                G
I miss your skin, I miss your touch

          Bm
I never thought it'd hurt this much

               A
I hate this feeling in my gut

                Em                        G
I wish you would quit me, I wish you would just leave

              Bm
Cause I can never walk away

             A                    G/A*
And so it's up to you to break me
