Pre Chorus?:
Part 1-
        Bm
I don't have...
         A
That can give me...
         Bm
There is nothing left...
         A
That can give me...

Part 2-
          G       D                 A/C#             Bm
I have no fear of drowning it's the breathing that's taking all this work

~For the A/C#, just play  x4765x~

Chorus: Just go up A G Lydian scale: G  A  B  A/C#    x2


Back to the Intro riff part 2.

Verse


Pre Chorus 2: For this you can just randomly pick these chords. I'm not sure what 
he picks it in, but I don't think it really matters too much.

 Bm7        Asus4
|----------|----------|
|-3--------|-3--------|   Twice
|-2--------|-2--------|
|-4--------|-2--------|
|-2--------|-0--------|
|----------|----------|

Part 2
            G                D                A/C#
Now all the demons look like prophets and I'm living out
Bm                      A    Bm                      A
Every word they speak        Every word they speak

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jars_of_clay/work_tab_ver_3.html ]
Chorus- G  A  Bm
        G  A  Bm  A/C#  x4


Solo: He has delay set so that each repeat sounds as if he is playing a whole step 
or lower than he really is... if that makes sense :)

Play the Chorus a few times, then it ends with

          G       D
I have no fear of drowning
         A/C#             Bm
It's the breathing that's taking all this work


Enjoy!
