Here is the complete song: 
 
 
Intro:  E6   Gm6   E6   Gm6   (a couple of times) 
 
    E6                             Gm6 
Her gaze hit the side of mine so I opened it out 
     E6                         Gm6 
To destroy what you thought was difference 
     E6                  
So I lied to you once again 
     Gm6 
So I painted over you once again 
     E6 
So I die before you once again 
           Gm6 
What's the difference? 
 
E6   Gm6   E6   Gm6 
 
     E6 
Come clearly where the flavour is 
     Gm6 
Seen here in black and white 
       E6 
You've got two seconds, baby boy 
   Gm6 
In burning light white light 
           E6          G   E6   G 
What's the difference? 
 
Em 
Clear up what you are 
G 
Burn out these eyes 
F# 
Rip up this place and scream 
 
          Em           G   F# 
I am your slice of life 
          Em           G   F# 
I am your slice of life 
          Em           G   F# 
I am your slice of life 
          Em           G   F# 
I am your slice of life (life) 
 
 
Slight interlude: G/E   G*   (<-- play the G riff with an E bass note, then a G bass note) 
 
Shivering under lamposts, shivering under glass 
You're standing on charisma again 
God knows it cannot last 
What's the difference? 
 
Ice inside your body 
Blood inside your soul 
Yet still twelve faces stand around 
Hugging your skinny bones 
What's the difference? 
 
   Em 
So clear up what you are 
G 
Burn out these eyes 
F#                    F 
Rip up this place and scream 
 
I am your slice of life 
I am your slice of life 
I am your slice of life 
I am your slice of life 
 
 
(continue with the Em G F# chord progression to the end of the song) 
 
And the car opened him up to so much more 
And the money is brighter with a wider smile 
And the problem expands inside your head 
I am your slice of life 
I am your slice of life 
I am your slice of life 
I am your slice of life
