The transition from A minorAm to E minorEm and from E minorEm to A minorAm is sometimes played with a G+G note (3rd fret, 6th sting)
Play along the audio to figure out where

Verse:
A minorAm       E minorEm
I think she came over to feel worth
A minorAm      E minorEm
More than a body in the ground
A minorAm      E minorEm        BB
Poured her a drink to calm her nerves
BB           BB
But this Earth's broken her spirits down
A minorAm          E minorEm
Said "hang around, let down your hair"
A minorAm          E minorEm
And talked about the others that were buried there
A minorAm      E minorEm
We danced and took a moonlight stroll
BB
But that's when I wanted to be alone, so I took off the coat

Verse:
A minorAm      E minorEm
Went home and kept working on my vest
A minorAm         E minorEm
She had secrets she wanted to get off her chest
A minorAm      E minorEm
I'll take the burden if you need
BB
And I'll spill my guts if you follow my lead

Chorus:
(Fig. 1)
E minorEm  F#F# G+G       A minorAm          E minorEm
'Cause I need to feel comfortable in my own skin
E minorEm  F#F# G+G       A minorAm          E minorEm
But I think I like the one that you're living in
F#F# G+G
So I'll cut to the chase
G+G
Just don't try to leave
BB
'Cause these hands are stronger than you were led to believe

A minorAm      E minorEm        A minorAm
It's always a drag to be on the fence
A minorAm      E minorEm        E minorEm
About who you are and its consequence
A minorAm      E minorEm       E minorEm
But God knows I'll do what I need
BB
That's why the Devil came and sold his fucking soul to me

Outro:
E minorEm
And I was afraid
A minorAm                E minorEm
That the neighbours would hear her cries

But I wasn't made

To feel anything that's mine
