Kiedis begins:

A     G    D           A
 I am a man cut from the know

Rarely do friends come and then go

She was a girl, soft but estranged
  A          G       D        A
 We were the two our lives rearranged

C         G         A
 Feeling so good that day
  C           G         F
 A feeling of love that day...

CHORUS:

Am          G           C           D
 Twisting and turning your feelings are burning 
      E
 You're breaking the girl
 Am   G   C    D   F
 She meant you no harm
  Am            G           C           D
 Think you're so clever but now you must sever
       E
 You're breaking the girl
 Am G     C  D   F
 He loves no one else

Verse 2 follows, with the same chords as verse one, and then another chorus comes in. 
After the chorus, there's the "solo" part which is played: 
          Am - G  x8 (strummed strongly)

Then repeat chorus and that's it.
