Verse 3: Only bass again 

Chorus x2, then riff A x1. 

Verses 4 and 5: Only bass 

Verse 6 (with quick releases after every strum): 

e |---------------------------------|

G |-9---9---9---9-------------------| 
D |-9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---|

G |-------------------------------------| 
D |-11---11---11---11---7---------------| 
A |-11---11---11---11---7---------------| 
E |-9----9----9----9----5---------------| 

Then chorus x2 and riff A, ending as: 

e |-0---|                 e |-0---| 
B |-0---|                 B |-0---| 
G |-1---|         or      G |-9---| 
D |-2---|                 D |-9---| 
A |-2---|                 A |-7---| 
E |-0---|                 E |-0---| 

It doesn't matter which, E or E5, they both work. I think he actually plays E. 

Also, instead of just waiting in the verses without guitar parts, you could play E5, B5, C#5 and A5 clean and palm-muted, or play arpeggios of E, B, C#m and A (it has to be C#m or it doesn't fit into the scale.)

The verses are just E the whole way through, the chorus on the other hand:

E  B     E     A                E
 I  can't deal with this idiot
                     B                                  A
Yeah I must admit that he's a punk ass bitch


This is a brilliant song and the Wheatus album is just fantastic!
