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#m and
hammer the 6th onto the Am7, so they look like this:
E|-------4------4--4--------------------|-----5------5--5----------------------|--|
B|-------5------5--6----------5--6------|-----5------5--7----------5--7--------|--|
G|-------6------6--4--------------------|-----5------5--5----------------------|--|

C#m Am7
My balls are coals in the bottom of our bed
C#m Am7
That sags with the ash of our passion spent
C#m Am7
I kicked the coals to see if they're still lit
C#m Am7
Oh, how much more can I take of this?
E Asus4 Am E Asus4 Am
I don't know how much more I can take of this
C#m Am7
You get undressed and I watch the show
C#m Am7
You lie beside me but I stay cool
C#m Am7
Then the next morning again we go
C#m Am7
You dress for work and I watch that, too
E Asus4 Am E Asus4 Am
I don't know how much more I can take of this
