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:

[C#m]My balls are coals in the [Am7]bottom of our bed
That [C#m]sags with the ash of our [Am7]passion spent
[C#m]I kicked the coals to see if [Am7]they're still lit
[C#m]Oh, how much more can I [Am7]take of this?
[E]I don't know how muc[Asus4]h more[Am] I can [E]take of t[Asus4]his[Am]
[C#m]You get undressed and I [Am7]watch the show
[C#m]You lie beside me but [Am7]I stay cool
[C#m]Then the next morning a[Am7]gain we go
[C#m]You dress for work and I w[Am7]atch that, too
[E]I don't know how muc[Asus4]h more[Am] I can [E]take of t[Asus4]his[Am]
[Bbm]I know this tunnel will [A]end with light
But [C#m]I can't see it, I[A] can't see it
[Bbm]Must be a reason to s[A]tay polite
But [C#m]I can't see it, I[A] can't see it

[C#m] Our bed is heaping with [A7]body ash
[C#m] I'm sick of sleeping in [A7]body ash
[C#m] Our bed is heaping with [A7]body ash
E D# D C# (single note run-down on A string)
[C#m]We go for coffee and [Am7]comfy chairs
[C#m]Your pen is to your lips but [Am7]I don't stare
You [C#m]lean over the table and be[Am7]tween your hair
[C#m]I can't pretend that I don't [Am7]see what's there
C#m (hit)
Sure, sure, I'm a gentleman but this just ain't fair
[Bbm]I know this tunnel will [A]end with light
