Here is the complete song:

Intro: E6 Gdim6 E6 Gdim6 (a couple of times)

Her [E6]gaze hit the side of mine so I [Gdim6]opened it out
To de[E6]stroy what you thought was [Gdim6]difference
So I [E6]lied to you once again
So I [Gdim6]painted over you once again
So I [E6]die before you once again
What's the [Gdim6]difference?

[E6] [Gdim6] [E6] [Gdim6]
Come [E6]clearly where the flavour is
Seen [Gdim6]here in black and white
You've [E6]got two seconds, baby boy
In [Gdim6]burning light white light
What's the [E6]difference?[G][E6][G]

[Em]Clear up what you are
[G]Burn out these eyes
[F#]Rip up this place and scream

I am your [Em]slice of life[G][F#]
I am your [Em]slice of life[G][F#]
I am your [Em]slice of life[G][F#]
I am your [Em]slice of life[G] (li[F#]fe)

Slight interlude: G/E G (s the difference?

So [Em]clear up what you are
[G]Burn out these eyes
[F#]Rip up this place and [F]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
