Quite simple. There are only three arpeggio progressions, I'll
name it Fig1, Fig2 and Fig3. Here they are:

Song structure:

[Fig1]
[Fig1]  See those people there, they look after me
        this is a photograph of who I might be
[Fig1]  Man in a uniform, bride on his arm
        mom always was a fool for money and charm

[Fig2]  He's been talking in his sleep again
        saying his sorry, calling my name
        saying how he's so ashamed.

[Fig3]  Alone again in the lap of luxury
[Fig3]
[Fig3]  Alone again in the lap of luxury
[Fig3]

[Fig1]  Since it happened I have nothing to say
        It used to bother me but now it's ok
[Fig1]  Mother climbs its dreadful house everyday
        Scrubbing at the stains that won't go away
        
[Fig2]  They send me away to the school in the park
        They say it would be good for me
        Still hear the other kids cry in the dark

[Fig3]  Alone again in the lap of luxury
[Fig3]
[Fig3]  Alone again in the lap of luxury
[Fig3]
ends with a strummed Bm
(in this chorus there's a second guitar strumming the chords)

[Fig1]  I don't remember the last time I cried
        I don't remember much except lies
[Fig1]  See the little girl spiraling down
        This is a photograph of who she is now
