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--|

For those who sing and play, I tried to change the lyrics for each time Tim changes it.
[Intro]
G C
* * (x4)
[Verse]
G Em7
It gets loneliest at night.
D
Down at the liquor store.
Cadd9
Beneath the neon sky. Our moonlight.
G Em7
Six A.M., the floor comes alive with lice.
D
The pan's dried up so tight.
Cadd9 G G/F#
With hardened beans. We're hungry.
Em7 D
So I lean on you sometimes.
Cadd9
Just to see if you're still there.
G Em7
These feet can't take the weight of one.
D
Much less two.
Cadd9 G G/F# Em7
We hit concrete.
Em7 D Cadd9
How were we born into this mess?
G A7sus4 G/B Cadd9
I thought I painted you a prettier picture, baby.
Em7 D Cadd9
But we were run out on a rail.
G A7sus4 G/B Cadd9
Fell from the wagon to the night train.
[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]
G Em7
Cigarettes they fill the gaps.
D
In our empty days.
Cadd9
In our broken teeth.
G
We're jonesing. Say mister,
Em7
can you spare a dime?
D
Some change could make some change.
Cadd9
Could buy some time.
G G/F#
Some freedom.
Em7 D Cadd9
Or an ear to hear my story.
G
It's all I've got. My fiction
Em7
Sure beats the hell out of my truth.
D
A palm upturned burnt blue.
Cadd9 G G/F# Em7
Don't call it sunburn.
Em7 D Cadd9
You were shaking on the job.
G A7sus4 G/B Cadd9
Just one drink ahead of your last.
Em7 D Cadd9
And there's a white light coming up.
G A7sus4 G/B Cadd9
You close the blind hoping it'll pass
[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]
G
And tears for two.
Cadd9
...And I kissed the bottle.
G Cadd9
I should've been kissing you.
G Cadd9
We wake up to an empty night.
G Cadd9
With tears for two.
G
And tears for two.
