I think the above riff is correct. If you don't think so, try this:

Verse 1
-------
[NOTE: play below chords just like main riff above]

B5
What was that sound ringin' around your brain?
D E2 D B5
Today was just a blur, you got a head like a ghost train
What was that sound ringin' around your brain?
D E2 D B5
You're here on your own, who you gonna find to blame?

Pre-chorus
----------
B5 D A B D A
You're the outcast you're the underclass
B5 D A B5 D A
But you don't care because you're living fast


Chorus
------
B5 D
You're the uninvited guest that stays till the end
G E
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
B5 D
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
G E
I'll be scraping your life from the sole of my shoe tonight

[Little transition fill between the "G" and "E" chords in the chorus:

G E
D--5--5--------2--2----
A--5--5--------2--2----
E--3--3--3-2-1-0--0----

Verse 2
-------
Bring it on down. Bring it down for me.
Your head's in a fish tank
your body and your mind can't breathe

Pre-Chorus
----------
You're the outcast - you're the underclass
But you don't care - because you're living fast

Chorus
------
You're the uninvited guest who stays till the end
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the sole of my shoe tonight

[song ends on a "B" chord]
