I'm almost positive this is right...
 
It's in 4/4, and just G C A D (one measure each) the whole time. so the first verse is
like this:
 
G              C                A              D
Seems like the broken heart the loving part is missing
       C                   A                D      G
As the drama unfolds she’s lost the art of loving
           C                 A                  D       G
Nowhere is where she goes to find her piece of nothing
                 C                    A             D        G
Seems like she’s had enough but she’s always up to something
 
and the rest follow the same pattern. here are the lyrics as close as i can figure them out....
 
And now as the story goes another day is dying
She’s already changed her clothes and in disgrace she’s laughing
It wasn’t so long ago she had me so temptated
And with no obligation I was feeling so sedated
 
Now I’m left pretty dumb and every bit retarded
Now the fires that burn are more than what she started
And now as the story goes another day is dying
She’s already changed her clothes and in disgrace she’s laughing
 
Is this the show of shows is that all she’s thinking
And maybe I told her so I’m thankful that I’m living
Another day in the past and every hour I’m haunting
Everybody is wearing a mask playing skip-to-my-lou my darling
 
And now as the story goes another day is dying
She’s already changed her clothes and in disgrace she’s laughing
Away
 
No one knows the sorrow of a broken heart that’s bleeding
Seems as though she never cares for no one that’s despairing
More less love and somehow she was lying
Time after time she gave it all away without trying
Death can take you to arrive like a bird that’s falling
No one knows the sorrow of a broken heart that’s bleeding
Seems as though she never cares for no one that’s despairing
Like rain upon an open grave

The little synth hook goes like, E|--------------------------------- B|--------------------------------- G|--------------2----2------------- D|--5---5-2---2----------4---4--5-- A|---------------------5---5------- E|--------------------------------- Sounds like it might be an octave higher in the recording but I like playing it down here with a wah pedal.
