Chords with lyrics

This is how I play the song. Suggestions and corrections welcome!
And since the song is basically the same as The Moon (by the Microphones),
I'll just use Josh Sharp's (killthelight on U-G) tab from here and write out all the lyrics and chords as well.
I tried to be accurate to the recorded version from the Dawn album, but really the fingerpicking
and chords are pretty interchangeable for the whole song.

(Intro:)
(1)
e----------------------|          |--------------------------|
B----------------------|          |--------------------------|
G-------2--------------| x3,then  |--------------------------|
D----0------0----------|          |-----------0--------------|
A-2--------------------|          |--0--2--4-----------------|
E----------------------|          |--------------------------|

(2)
e----------------------|
B----------------------|
G-------2--------------| x4
D----0------0----------|
A----------------------|
E-3--------------------|

(repeat three times)
(for the verse, continue the finger picking, i'll use 1 as the first part and 2 as the second)
(there's no need to add the extra fill at the end of number 1, just pick pattterns 1 and 2 four times each)

             1
And when I talked to my friends
                                  2
And found out that you're having fun

That you're swallowing life
                    1
That you're in the sun

That you're fucking around
                       2
That you're growing a new one
    1
I bellow out my voice
             2
I yell out loud
                                    1
I have my shirt off in front of a crowd
                                      2
I tell em about you, and how you're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone,
        1
You're gone x4
        2
You're gone x4
        1
You're gone x4
        2
You're gone x4

But in my lying
         Chord diagramG+G                              Chord diagramB minorBm
Don't I have you in my mind the entire time
                                     Chord diagramG+G
Yeah, I can leave all the places we went
                                        1
But I can't leave without my bones you bent
              2
So I hobble along
             1
And now it's me who's gone
             2                                 1
And now it's me who has your fear of opening hearts
                                              2
And all the false starts we could tear hope apart
                                       1
With all this deep gouging and biting back
                                                  2
With the way that you get all my friends in the sack

Whats left?
                            Chord diagramG+G
I scream when I look up at night
                                 Chord diagramB minorBm                  Chord diagramG+G
Where the novelty has worn off of the blue moonlight
     Chord diagramB minorBm                        2
Who cares? and I roll on the ground
       1                               2    Chord diagramB minorBm
What gives? and there's no answering sound
                     2     Chord diagramB minorBm
And there's nobody around
                          Chord diagramG+G note (3rd fret top string)
And there my answer was found
