That riff is played throughout most of the song (intro, verse, outro). There is,
however, a section with barre chords,
which I believe is the last chorus.

I believe that the strumming pattern above holds true to the chorus as well, with the
exception of the last one
    F  G  Am
|---1--3--5---|
|---1--3--5---|
|---2--4--5---|
|---3--5--7---|
|---3--5--5---|
|---1--3--5---|

If you want, you can play the G and Am chords normally, but the barre chords are the way
that JPW plays it.

==Verse==
Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
The years burn
Ooh, the years burn

==Chorus==
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you

==Verse==
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

==Chorus==
F              G      Am
I used to be a little boy
   G         F
So old in my shoes
F                 G     Am
And what I choose is my voice
         G               F
What's a boy supposed to do?
G             Am                  F
The killer in me is the killer in you
   G
My love
            Am            F
I send this smile over to you
G             Am                  F
The killer in me is the killer in you
   G
My love
            Am            F
I send this smile over to you

==Outro==
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
