Awesome song. I had some of the riffs to add and I think the previous tab was a bit off the mark.
[Intro Riff (synth)] - This plays after almost every chorus too.

[Verse 1]
FLooking out the window at a world on fire
IDmt's plain to see, the end is
near
FI've
seen all the
sights; I'm tired of the lights
SDmo you
can let me off right here
FThis town's getting crowded; the truth's been shrouded
I Dmthink it's time to change up the sound
CYeah, the wheels keep turning; the flames gettin' higher
BbAnother cycle goes around
[Chorus]
FFace in the mirror's all skin and bones
DmBloodshot eyes and a heart of stone
COver the game, rather be alone
BbThink I'm gonna just stay home and make art, not friends
[Same riff with this laid over]

[Verse 2]
FI love saying "no" to all the "yes" men
DmJust to see the look on their face
FLove how everybody knows what's best
DmBut nobody knows their place
FSucker every second, stack 'em up to the sky
DmFor every winner, there's a hundred that die
CSo you get yours, and stay out of mine
BbHere's to the memories, where do I sign?
[Chorus]
FFace in the mirror's all skin and bones
DmBloodshot eyes and a heart of stone
COver the game, rather be alone
BbThink I'm gonna just stay home and make art, not friends
