This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

After the first chorus there is a break down where a guitar is strumming with the fingers from
the left hand covering the strings to make a rhythmic sound. LISTEN TO THE RECORDING FOR
THE RHYTHM
THE NUMBERS LINE UP TO THE RHYTHM its a tough beat but listen close and you can get it.
The strings go from muted to open to create a beat:
