This is a great song, if a little depressing.. I'm pretty sure I've got this
right, I can only think that theres a couple of variations you could play
around with through the verse and prechorus which are similar to the outro, eg:

This isnt the same in every verse and it changes through each line as to
what is actually played, so i havnt included in my tab. It sounds good
without, but if you want to play about with it, the above should be a start
for variation..

Sometimes I find myself shaking
In the middle of the night
And then it hits me and I can't
Even believe this is my life
But people have problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time
And I wish that everyone would go and shut their mouths
I'm not strong enough to deal with it
