The Chorus is just C for 2 beats the D for Two beats and G for 2 and F# for 2. The outro is Bm for 2, then D for 2, then G for 2, then G again for 2 and D again for 2 followed by four beats of E.

Like So:

Bm D G D G D E

for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myse----lf.

phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myse----lf.

for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myse----lf.

...humming....

phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myse----lf.
