Chords:
Bm: 224432

A: 002220 or 577655
No capo? Chords:
Bm -> Dm: 557765 or 000231. 557765 preferred.
G -> Bb: 688766 or 113331 - Easier to transition from Dm to 688766.

A -> C: 032010 or 335553 or 8-10-9-9-8-8
[1], [2], [3], [4] are cues for the vocals. They should line up with the string+fret to play.
For example, for [1], it lines up with "2", so for the first line of the first verse,
play the A string (5th string) on 2nd fret, you sing "losing" (chorus) at the same time.
You can play the verses by finger-picking too, but you wouldn't want to play the whole song like
that, would you? It would sound too monotonous! Hence I made the verses/bridges chords, and the
finger-picking (you can actually hear that in the song).
If you want to play the verses by picking, then
Bm -> [1]
G -> [2]
D -> [3]
A -> [4]
Use the same cues as you use for the chorus.

[Verse 1]:
I'm sick and Bmtired of being sick and tired it's Gyou that I'm missing it's
like my Dbrain is wired up and there's a Aglitch in my system
Bm You're like a drug and now my Gblood won't stop itching
I'm in Dcritical condition someone let my Aout of this prison
[Pre-Chorus]:
It's like my Bmmind is playing tricks on me Glately
I could've Dsworn that you were still my Ababy
I'm on a Bmmerry-go-round, goGing around, driving me Dcrazy
AThat's why it feels like

GUsed to see my Dworld in color Bmgirl
When you left me it's Alike my world turned Ggrey

Baby that's why it feels like
