Just so I don't try to confuse you with fancy chord names, all you have to do is
keep the e and b strings open while playing the A and B chords (and maybe leave
the high e open when you're playing the C#m too, if it's barred).
(Also, keep in mind that the verses are in 7/4, so listen to the original if you
haven't already to know when to change chords.)

Between heaven and hell the devil in me,
Asus2 Bsus4 E
Burned another branch on the family tree,
Asus2 Bsus4 C#m Bsus4
You take the bottle from my hand the whiskey off my breath,
Asus2 Bsus4 E
Tell me is there really still anything left,
Asus2 Bsus4 E
There's a limit to livin' on Gods green earth,
Asus2 Bsus4 E
I'm still tryin' to figure what that's worth,
Asus2 Bsus4 C#m Bsus4
Not makin' any choices I'm just makin' mistakes,
Asus2 Bsus4 E
Livin' in a world where the sinners are saints,
