Just fixed the parts Nemmet wasn’t sure about. The second chord in the verse that 
everyone was debating is an E7 (0201000).
The end of the chorus where people were debating if it was a G or a C- its neither. Its 
Fmaj7 just use your thumb to hit the base note (1x3210) and leave the high e open. 
Listen to the base note walk down from A to G to F and you’ll hear it.
Walk the base line down from the A by adding in the am7/G in between those chords like this:
--Am-0--Am7/G--0---Fmaj7-0----|
---1----1----1----|
---2----0----2----|
---2----2----3----|
---0----0----x----|
---x----3----1----|
A lot of the E’s can be substituted for E7 and vice versa, depending on the piano runs. 
Hope this helps.
It's Amnot what you tE7hink, jusFmaj7t one more little Ebet,
Just aFmaj7nother cigaretEmte, just one more dFmaj7rink.E  
So lend me jAmust a little moE7re, yoFmaj7u know cancer can't catch Eme.
Let's have anFmaj7other drink or threEme. Don't be a Fbore.G  
*right after "bore" it goes from the F to the G like this:
low E|--1--2--3--|
But Dmoh, don't I kEnow, I'm just diAmgging Am7/Gmy own graFmaj7ve,
Can Dmsomeone else please Esave myself from Amme?
                Dm                E        Am         G  Dsus2/F#  
And Lord, don't I know, I'm just digging my own grave,
Can someone Fsave myself from Eme?
I Amlook but don't E7touch, It's rFmaj7eally no big deEal.
I'll Fmaj7quit it when I Emfeel I've seen enFmaj7ough.E  
Oh don't Amcall it an E7affair, it'Fmaj7s just a little Efling.
              Fmaj7               Em   F(w/ lead-in from before) G  
She doesn't mean a thing to me I swear.
But Dmoh, don't I kEnow, I'm just diAmgging Am7/Gmy own Fmaj7grave,
Can Dmsomeone else please Esave myself from Amme?
    Dm            E              Am      G
Dsus2/ F#(?)
And Lord, don't I know, I'm just digging my own grave,
Can someone Fsave myself from Eme?
