Okay, there may be a few lyrics that don't match up with what's printed online, but HEY.
It's The Replacements. It's not like Paul always sings his lyrics the same way everytime, anyway.
The verses are just arpeggiated Em / Cmaj7 chords, and the strum pattern is similar to this:
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------0------------|
G|----------------------0-------0----------|
D|------2-----2---2---2-----2-----2--------|
A|----2-----2---2---3-----3----------------|
E|--0-----0--------------------------------|
Now here's the chords in the song:
