play that second part three times and hammer-on all notes with
the fretting hand.

it goes like this
(dashes included to line up some syllables with notes):

then the "I love myself line...":

F B5 C5 B5 I love myself better than you...
 
So the verse follows the first rythym figure twice,
then the second figure for the refrain, then back to the first

F5 F5 Cb6sus2 F5 F5 Cb6sus2 I?m on a plain I can?t complain
 
The bridge is the only easy part:
G5 (133xxx) B5 (022xxx) B5 (x022xx) F5 (355xxx)
 
Lyrics:
I?ll start this off without any words
I got so high [that] I scratched ?till I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it?s wrong so what should I Do
The finest day that I?ve ever had
Is when I learned to cry on command
 
I?m on a plain, I can?t complain
 
My mother died every night
It?s safe to say don?t quote me on that
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
 
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As defense I?m neutered and spayed
What the hell Am I trying to say
 
It is now time to make it all clear
To write off lines that don?t make sense
One more special message to Go
And then I?m done and I can Go home
Still looking for the right chords?
