Rather than splitting the song between two guitars or choosing between playing the riff or the chords,
there is a solution... As you play the chords, simply hammer the 7th onto the C# minorC#m and
hammer the 6th onto the Am7, so they look like this:

E MajorE|-------4------4--4--------------------|-----5------5--5----------------------|--|

C# minorC#m            Am7Am7
My balls are coals in the bottom of our bed
   C# minorC#m           Am7Am7
That sags with the ash of our passion spent
C# minorC#m             Am7Am7
I kicked the coals to see if they're still lit
C# minorC#m           Am7Am7
Oh, how much more can I take of this?
E MajorE          Asus4Asus4 A minorAm   E MajorE    Asus4Asus4 A minorAm
I don't know how much more I can take of this

C# minorC#m           Am7Am7
You get undressed and I watch the show
C# minorC#m          Am7Am7
You lie beside me but I stay cool
C# minorC#m          Am7Am7
Then the next morning again we go
C# minorC#m            Am7Am7
You dress for work and I watch that, too
E MajorE          Asus4Asus4 A minorAm   E MajorE    Asus4Asus4 A minorAm
I don't know how much more I can take of this

BbmBbm           A augmentedA
I know this tunnel will end with light
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
But I can't see it, I can't see it
BbmBbm         A augmentedA
Must be a reason to stay polite
  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
But I can't see it, I can't see it
BbmBbm     A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
I keep the fire alive in the night
A augmentedA    BbmBbm  A augmentedA     C# minorC#m A augmentedA    BbmBbm    A augmentedA
 In the night, in the night, in the night, oh oh oh

C# minorC#m            A7A7
 I'm sick of sleeping in body ash

 Our bed is heaping with body ash
C# minorC#m            A7A7
 I'm sick of sleeping in body ash
C# minorC#m            A7A7
 Our bed is heaping with body ash

E MajorE D#D# D MajorD C#C# (single note run-down on A augmentedA string)

C# minorC#m         Am7Am7
We go for coffee and comfy chairs
C# minorC#m             Am7Am7
Your pen is to your lips but I don't stare
  C# minorC#m            Am7Am7
You lean over the table and between your hair
C# minorC#m             Am7Am7
I can't pretend that I don't see what's there
C# minorC#m (hit)
Sure, sure, I'm a gentleman but this just ain't fair

BbmBbm           A augmentedA
I know this tunnel will end with light

  C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
But I can't see it, I can't see it
