Don't forget to tune a half step down to play along! Based on this video:
I notated the riff Tim plays in the intro and the first two choruses as G* and C*,
since it's simply hammering on and off between variations of open G and C chords.
The first time through, I think he plays it a little different (without the lower strings),
so I'll try to work that part out in the future, but this is how it goes every other time:
G* is played
e|-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--|
B|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0--0--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
G|-0--0--2--0--2--0--0--2--0--0--2--0--2--4--2--0--|
D|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|
A|-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--|
E|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
C* is played
e|-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x---|
B|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0--0--3--3--3--3--3--3---|
G|-0--0--2--0--2--0--0--2--0--0--2--0--2--4--2--0---|
D|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---|
A|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---|
E|-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x---|
The rest of the chords are simple:
G- 320033
Cadd9- x32033
Em7- 022033
D- xx0232
A7sus4- x02233
G/B- x2x033
G/F#- 200033
For those who sing and play, I tried to change the lyrics for each time Tim changes it.
[Intro]
G* C* (x4)
[Verse]
GIt gets loneliest at nEm7ight.
Down at the liquor stDore.
Beneath the nCadd9eon sky. Our moonlight.
GSix A.M., the floor comes alive with lEm7ice.
The pan's dried up so Dtight.
With hardened bCadd9eans. We're hungry.G  G/F#  
So I lEm7ean on you sometDimes.
Just to Cadd9see if you're still there.
GThese feet can't take the weight of Em7one.
Much leDss two.
We hit cCadd9oncrete.G  G/F#  Em7  
Em7How were we bDorn into this Cadd9mess?
GI thought I pA7sus4ainted you a G/Bprettier pCadd9icture, baby.
Em7But we were rDun out on a rCadd9ail.
GFell from the wA7sus4agon to the nG/Bight tCadd9rain.
[Chorus]
G* C*
I kissed the bottle.
G* C*
I should've been kissing you.
G* C* G*
You wake up to an empty night.
C*
With tears for two.
[Verse]
GCigarettes they fill the gEm7aps.
In our empty dDays.
In our broken tCadd9eeth.
We're jonesing. GSay mister,
can you spare a dEm7ime?
Some change could make some Dchange.
Could buy sCadd9ome time.
Some freedGom.G/F#  
Or an Em7ear to hDear my sCadd9tory.
It's all I've got. My fictGion
Sure beats the hell out of my tEm7ruth.
A palm upturned buDrnt blue.
Don't call it Cadd9sunburn.G  G/F#  Em7  
Em7You were sDhaking on the jCadd9ob.
GJust one dA7sus4rink ahead G/Bof your lasCadd9t.
Em7And there's a wDhite light coming Cadd9up.
GYou close the A7sus4blind hoping iG/Bt'll paCadd9ss
[Chorus]
G* C*
I kissed the bottle.
G* C*
I should've been kissing you.
G* C* G*
You wake up to an empty night.
C*
With tears for two.
[Final Chorus]
And tears for tGwo.
...And I kissed the Cadd9bottle.
GI should've been kissing Cadd9you.
GWe wake up to an Cadd9empty night.
GWith tears for Cadd9two.
And tears for tGwo.
