He plays it both open and capo 2. Usually open, but pick your poison. 
It's Em D G C all the way through other than the intro. 
There are usually 6 beats per measure and C gets 3 beats, unless he's 
repeating a line at the end of a verse or chorus, 
then there's only one C and 4 beats in that measure. 

(C) (G) (C) (D) (Em) (Em) (x2)

Em          D               G        C
Dollar bill prescr i ptions in the bathroom stall
Redheaded women and alcohol
Say it ain't so say it ain't last call
A whiskey on the rocks and Adderall
Whiskey on the rocks and Adderall


   (Em)    (D)               (G)    (C)
   We're no different than the neon lights
      (Em)    (D)       (G)     (C)
   They turn us on to stay up all night
    (Em)       (D)     (G)       (C)
   We do what we can, we put up a fight
    (Em)      (D)     (G)        (C)
   We burn too long, we flicker and die

    (Em)        (D)       (G)         (C)
It's nights like these the drugs don't work
They get in the way instead of picking me up
I wish my addictions didn't mean so much
But we all can't be born with that kind of luck

You can try but you won't fix what wrong with me
Every night I'm my own worst enemy
I'll find a way to quit when they bury me
Cause I can't turn down the drinks when they're free
No you can't turn down the drinks when they're free

(Chorus)

Repeat Intro

Every girl in that bar looks like 1965
With her sailor tattoos and her drawn out eyes
Every now and then she crosses my mind
By every now and then I mean most of the time
By every now and then I mean all of the time.

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

    (Em)      (D)     (G)        (C)
   We burn too long, we flicker and die
    (Em)      (D)     (G)        (C)
   We burn too long, we flicker and die
    (Em)      (D)     (G)        (C)
   We burn too long, we flicker and die
    (Em)      (D)     (G)        (C)
   We burn too long, we flicker and die
    (Em)      (D)     (G)        (C)
   We burn too long, we flicker and die
    (Em)      (D)     (G)        (C)
   We burn too long, we flicker and die
(no chords)
   We burn too long, we flicker and die
   We burn too long, we flicker and die
