Listen to the song closely and youll see where each chord fits in
Now at the end of each chorus there is a small fill.
It is simply a Cadd9 with a small sliding riff in it so here it is
E|----------3--------------------------------------3----------0--|
B|------------1---1----------1--------3--------------1--------3--|
G|------0-------0---------0--------0----------0--------0------0--|
D|----2----------------2------2/4--------4/2------------------2--|
A|--3----------------3----------------------------------------3--|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
At the end of the song where they keep repeating the lines
"I wont be around for you goodbye" and "You love his money
more than me" It simply follows the first half of the verse Riff
G and Cadd9 until the song ends on G
