The picking shown is just a general idea, not an exact representation of the original part.
Interpret the picking as you wish; the fingering is the important part.
Riff 1:

G|---------------------------------------------------0-----0----------------|

Riff 2:

If you listen to the guitar in the verses, you'll notice a change in the bass notes.
That's where you switch from Riff 1 to Riff 2.
For example, the first verse is:
Riff 1
Don't you know we lost?
Riff 1
Sunk so low, we just called it off
Riff 2
How an ordinary moment gets tossed
Riff 2
A more than ordinary woman's the cost
All verses follow the same progression: play Riff 1 twice, then Riff 2 twice.
Then, between the first two verses:
D5 G/B Gm/Bb D5/A
Then after the second verse:
D5 G/B
Believe me
Gm/Bb D5/A
Believe me
D5 G/B
Believe me
Gm/Bb D5/A
Believe me
D5 G/B
Have another look, another look around
Gm/Bb D5/A
Have another look around
D5 G/B
Have another look, another look around
Gm/Bb D5/A
Have another look around
Chorus:
D5/A Em
It's come undo-o-o-one
G/D D5/A
Do-one
D5/A Em
It's come undo-o-o-one
G/D D5/A
Do-one
Then after the first chorus comes the bridge:
D5 G/B
Have another look, another look around
Gm/Bb D5/A
Have another look around
D5 G/B
Have another look, another look around
Gm/Bb D5/A
Have another look around
The interlude before the last verse is just Riff 2 twice.
After the last chorus:
D5 G/B Gm/Bb D5/A
D5 G/B Gm/Bb D5/A
Just end on that last D5/A
And that's it.
For the record, I'm aware that the D5/A isn't really over an A. I just refer to it as
such for naming purposes; it's much quicker and easier to type "D5/A" than "D5 (2)".

Dont you know we lost?
Sunk so low, we just called it off
How an ordinary moment gets tossed
A more than ordinary womans the cost
Thought I understood
Fought to buy the whole neighborhood
You ought to try I told you so It feels good
Bought it high and sold as low as I could
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
Its come undone done
Its come undone done
Have another look another look around
Have another look around
Have another look another look around
Have another look around
I cant stay too long
Can only play a handful of songs
How a melody can make up your mind
Take a memory and leave it behind
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
Its come undone done
Its come undone done
Its come undone (Have another look another look around)
Done (Have another look around)
Its come undone (Have another look another look around)
Done (Have another look around)
