That riff is played throughout most of the song (intro, verse, outro). There is,
however, a section with barre chords,
which I believe is the last chorus.
I believe that the strumming pattern above holds true to the chorus as well, with the
exception of the last one
F G Am

If you want, you can play the G and Am chords normally, but the barre chords are the way
that JPW plays it.
==Verse==
Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
The years burn
Ooh, the years burn
==Chorus==
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
==Verse==
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
==Chorus==
F G Am
I used to be a little boy
G F
So old in my shoes
F G Am
And what I choose is my voice
G F
What's a boy supposed to do?
G Am F
The killer in me is the killer in you
G
My love
Am F
I send this smile over to you
G Am F
The killer in me is the killer in you
G
My love
Am F
I send this smile over to you
==Outro==
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
