Here is how I play this on my acoustic.
I like it this way as you can hit the the root notes easily.

[C]Let's make some music make some [F]money find some models for [C]wives.
[C]I'll move to Paris, shoot some [F]heroin and fuck with the [C]stars.
[C]You man the island and the [F]cocaine and the elegant [C]cars.
PRE-CHORUS
[F]This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some [C]fun
[F]Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning [C]commute?
CHORUS 1
[G]Forget about our mothers and our [Em]friends.
We were [F]fated [G]to pre[C]tend.
[F] to pre[C]tend.
We were [F]fated to pre[C]tend.
[F] to pre[C]tend.
VERSE 2
[C]I'll miss the playgrounds and the [F]animals and digging up [C]worms.
[C]I'll miss the comfort of my [F]mother and the weight of the [C]world.
[C]I'll miss my sister, miss my [F]father, miss my dog and my [C]home.
[C]Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the [F]freedom and the time spent [C]alone.
PRE-CHORUS (Fig 2.)
[F]But there is really nothing, nothing we can do.
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up [C]anew.
[F]The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
we'll find some more models, Everything must run its [C]course.
CHORUS
[G]We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the [Em]end.
We were [F]fated [G]to pre[C]tend.
[F] to pre[C]tend.
We were [F]fated to pre[C]tend.
[F] to pre[C]tend.
and so it goes...
