[Verse 1]

   
My feet are ac

And your back 

is pretty tire

And we've drun

k a couple bot

tles babe
    
And set our gr

ief aside
    
The Papers say

 it's doomsday
    
The button has

 been pressed
            
We're gonna nu

ke each other 

up boys
         
'Til old satan

 
 stands impres

[Bridge]

            
  And here it

night alive
            
And as the ear

e ground
     
Oh, girl, it's

[Verse 2]

    
You put your f

Oh, we're goin

And everything

I pull your ar

While my organ

Here are some extra details that I like to add to it, 
but they are just my interpretations/ad libs and by no means essential
- it'll sound fine with just the chords.

For the chorus rhythm, you can also hit a root note of each chord between strums 
so it builds it and fills it out a bit more.
Something like this;

G|--0---0---2-
D|--2---2---2-
