This song is largely piano centered, especially in the intro and first verse.
I transcribed this from a reddit post I found online in which the song sections were
translated into chords.
All credit goes to reddit users /u/jrndmmn, with major corrections by /u/pianoboy and minor
corrections by /u/reznet. The original post can be found here:

I made minor changes to a couple of chords to what I thought sounded better when played on
a single acoustic guitar.

[VERSE}
CWhile you Gwere aCsleep
Pulled my Fhood to block the Amlight from Emthe TAmV
Turned the C7volume up to Dmdistract me from Dm7constant noises
GLeaking Funder Emthe aDmpartment Cdoor
It Gdoesn't Chelp
I get Fup and I crawl Amout and Emdon't hear Ammore
Make a C7barricade of Dmfull trash bags and Dm7empty boxes
GPerched beFhind them, Emclosely Dmwatching
[REPEAT INTRO]
[VERSE]
CWhile you Gwere aCsleep
On the Fcouch, watching a Ammovie, Emsmoking Amweed
RummaC7ging through the uDmtensils in the Dm7kitchen counter,
GIn the Fdrainer, Emwhich one's Dmsharper.
CWhen the Glight creeps Cin
loosen Fmy grip and crawl Amback inEmto my Ambed.
Your aC7larm is set to Dmgo off in a Dm7half an hour.
GEyes closed. FFake snore. EmNone the Dmwiser.
[CHORUS] (same chords as intro)
C VictoriGa made me Chappy F Dm
Now I can C#dimonly be Dm7scared G C
And people G/Btell me that G/Bbtime can fix the A7wound.
But that's Dmcrap.
'Cause she's Dm7/Cnot coming Gback
And Glife's unCfair.
I'm always Ganxious and Cworried. F Dm
I'm always C#dimfreaked out and Dm7scared. G C
And people G/Btell me that G/Bbtime can fix the A7wound.
But that's Dmcrap.
Vicki's Dm7/Cnot coming Gback.
And I Gscream
[BRIDGE]
Dm"Why did I get Gleft behind?"
I Emknow it's an exAaggeration
Dmto say I would Grather die than
Emshare this place with Apeople capaDmble
of inspiGring such fear and E7hopelessness
that I'm Amfrozen Am/Cin my Gbed...
but that sums it up. F
[VERSE]
CTeenage GhalloCween
Hot safeFty pins in nozAmzles of Emshaving Amcream
Spend the C7evening spraying Dmcars, toilet paDm7pering houses
GWhat's the Fharm in Emsmashing Dmpumpkins?
CDecades Gon, with Ckids
And I Fdon't let them stay Amout past Emdark.
I Amsit on the C7front porch with a Dmshotgun
While they're Dm7upstairs sleeping.
GTotal Fdarkness.
EmLove. ProDmtection.
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[END WITH:]
But that's Dmcrap.
Vicki's Dm7/Cnot coming Gback.
And Glife's unCfair
