The rhythm guitar in the verses is playing the following progression:
E A Asus4 A D A Asus4 A
[Verse 1]
E A Asus4 A D
Left here right in the dark
A Asus4 A E
Slouched in the corner
A Asus4 A D
Tryin' to make a new start
A Asus4 A E
Not getting any warmer
A Asus4 A D
You got a cold heart
A Asus4 A E
Icicles form
A Asus4 A D
The points are so sharp
[Chorus]
G A G
The next one's gonna be the best one
A G A G A
Get my attention, a pearl from the ocean
[Verse 2]
E A Asus4 A D
Left here right in the dark
A Asus4 A E
Not a clue to my name
A Asus4 A D
You sit and throw darts
A Asus4 A E
With uncanny aim
A Asus4 D
At my open heart
A Asus4 A E
You got a new flame
A Asus4 A D
Don't think you're so smart
[Chorus]
G A G
The first time I saw you in the bar line
A G A G A
Goin' out of my mind, thinking 'bout your new find
[Bridge]
Bm A G D
Tell me baby, what's his name?
Bm A G D
Speak to me, honey, or are you ashamed?
Bm A G D
I'm a little uneasy, a little bit maimed
G5
To see you there, the perfect pair
How could you dare?
A5
I've been framed
[Verse 3]
E A Asus4 A D
Lights out, everybody hide
A Asus4 A E A Asus4 A D
Just pretend that nobody died
A Asus4 A E A Asus4 A D
Close your eyes and let everything slide
A Asus4 A E A Asus4 A D
Plug your ears, you won't hear us collide
[Chorus]
G A G
There's a live wire burnin' near my front tire
A G
Screamin' like a mad choir
A G A
You're a little misfire
[Bridge]
Bm A G D
Tell me baby, what's his name?
Bm A G D
Speak to me, honey, or are you ashamed?
Bm A G D
I'm a little uneasy, a little bit maimed
G5
To see you there, the perfect pair
How could you dare?
A5
I've been framed
