Of course you hold the F chord at the end then the verse appears:
 
Dm        Am7  Gm7
Never too soon to be through
      Dm       C        Bb
Being cool too much too soon

Too much for me, too much for you
             A5       Bb
You~re gonna lose in time

Don~t hide behind your false pride
       B5       C
It~s a lie, you lie
 
       D5             C5
If you see me getting mighty
       D5             C5
If you see me getting high
         Am   Em
Knock me down

            A5  Bb
Why did you go away
Em7          Bm7            Am7*

(very quickly now, the guitar and bass plays:
 
G|---------|
D|---------|  When the guitar plays the 6th fret (the Bb note), it also plays
A|-5p0-7---|  a power chord on it and therefore from that note the guitar
E|-------6-|  plays a series of chords that go:
 
Bb5   G5  G5/Bb5   F5    C5    Bb5
 
[Cool solo part]   A5   F    A5    F    G5    F     A
 
all I just did here was to write down the rhythm chords, I have and will not
do the solo (as little as it may seem).  If you listen to the album, you can
figure out how these chords come in.  The G5/Bb5 part is when the guitar
slides from G5 to Bb5.  Listen and you shall hear, my child.  Anyway, the
rest goes something like this:
 
       D5             C5
If you see me getting mighty
       D5             C5
If you see me getting high
         Am   Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
 
       D5             C5
If you see me getting mighty
       D5             C5
If you see me getting high
         Am   Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
 
       D5             C5
If you see me getting mighty
       D5             C5
If you see me getting high
         Am   Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
 
       D5             C5
If you see me getting mighty
       D5             C5
If you see me getting high
         Am   Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
 
       F#5            E5
If you see me getting mighty
       F#5            E5
If you see me getting high
         C#m  G#m
Knock me down
E                   B
I~m not bigger than life
 
       F#5            E5
If you see me getting mighty
       F#5            E5
If you see me getting high
         C#m  G#m
Knock me down
E                   B
I~m not bigger than life
 
C#m           E    B
C#m           E    B
 
C#m                                     E                 B
It~s so lonely when you don~t even know yourself, it~s so lonely
C#m                                     E                 B
It~s so lonely when you don~t even know yourself, it~s so lonely...
 
Please escuse all the redudancy and other things.  I shall explain the
chords now and how I play them.  Please remember that this is my best
estimate of this sad song.  If you find any errors or so on could you please
email me.  Anyway, before explaining every chords, I must explain that the
Em(?) chord does not really exist.  I am not sure if there is another chord
that ends the normal chorus so I presume that the Em chord sustains.  So my
denoting Em(?) means that I am not sure if it is the Em chord that is
playing at that time.  And also, my ways of playing these chords are not by
gospel.  Anyway, here we go:
