The main riff is quite simple, just a Bm and then a quick slide from C# to D.
Listen for the feel, which is the important thing.
I believe he plays it in half-step down tunned guitar, which makes the chords simpler, but not a big problem
to shift them half-step for standard tuned guitar.
[Intro]
Story of Benny Walker,
                           Bm   C#-> D  
the greatest hater of all time
(It bought that, bought that)
Oh, what a thing (finger)
[Verse 1]
                  Bm   C#-> D  
I hate this job I'm working
              Bm   C#-> D  
Now my feet are hurting
                   Bm   C#-> D  
I'm tired of talking to
                Bm   C#-> D  
strangers all day long
         Bm   C#-> D  
With their dirty faces,
           Bm   C#-> D  
they're from far away places,
             Bm   C#-> D  
Always cursing and flirting
              Bm   C#-> D  
Are trying to replace us I don't no!
[Chorus 1]
GEverybody needs a Bmbad guy
GThey need someone to Bmblame
GEverybody needs a Bmbad guy (Everybody needs a bad guy)
To Gpoint the finger to F#blame
[Verse 2]
      Bm              C#->D
I got fired for nothing
     Bm              C#->D
I thought they were just bluffing
      Bm              C#->D
I was almost on time,
      Bm            C#->D
I had so much on my mind
  Bm    C#->D
I feel disrespected,
  Bm      C#->D
I feel so neglected
       Bm    C#->D
I 've got to look on my shoulder (look on my shoulder)
          Bm          C#->D
While I'm driving and texting  I tell ya
[Chorus 2]
