In the intro and before the last chorus Jesse plays an F7 chord that is something like 131241.
Continuing the F works too though if your fingers aren't up to it.
[Intro]
 C   D   F   F7x2
[Verse]
CFaces around me they Dkeep rearranging
I'm Falways stuck in square one
I Cfind myself waking conDfused my head aching
And Fwondering what have I done
Well Cwe're out, Dwe're out, Fwe're out again
And in my Csober mind I Drealise just how Fstupid I have been
 C   D   Fx4
[Verse]
I spend the Cholidays alone because they Amonly make me sad
My Gbest friend is a six pack, my best friend is a six pack
My Cgirlfriend is a cigarette, she Ammakes me so damn mad
But even Gso she always Ftakes my breath aCway
 C   D   Fx4
[Verse]
CThe lights are dimming, I'm in Amway over my head
I'm so Gexhausted but I just don't feel I'm welcome in my bed
Put Cfire to the phone book and to Ameveryone who's in it
GSmall talk makes me nauseous and it's Ftrivial at best
[Chorus]
CI'm sad to Gsay I feel like Amshooting up, I'm Fbreaking down
I'm Cterrified and Gwant to hide aFway
CI miss the Gdays when we would Amspeak in lullaFbies, this time
I Cfear my troubles Gmay be here to Fstay
Yeah, may be here to stay
 C   D   Fx4
[Verse]
CHow hard can I try? AmGoddamnit time flies
GEven when you ain't having much Ffun
CSleeping pills and whisky cuz you Amwouldn't even miss me
And I Gcan't afford to Fget myself a Cgun
[Chorus]
CI'm sad to Gsay I feel like Amshooting up, I'm Fbreaking down
I'm Cterrified and Gwant to hide aFway
CI miss the Gdays when we would Amspeak in lullaFbies, this time
I Cfear my troubles Gmay be here to Fstay
Yeah, may be here to stay
 C   D   F   F7x2
[Chorus]
CI'm sad to Gsay I feel like Amshooting up, I'm Fbreaking down
I'm Cterrified and Gwant to hide aFway
