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

|-9b10r9~~-|-~~~~-----|----------------|-7--7-----------|
|----------|----------|-9--9-7-------7-|------9-7---7-9-|
|----------|----------|--------9-7-9---|----------9-----|

Play that last group of measures 2 more times then play this:

|----------------||--------------------||------------------|
|----------------||--------------------||------------------|
|----------------||o------------------o||------------------|
|----------------||o-7--7-------------o||-7--7-------------|
|-9--9-7-------7-||-------9-7-------7--||------9-7-------7-|
|--------9-7-9---||-----------9-7-9----||----------9-7-9---|

Then play the second verse the same as the first and then play the above

part again.

Chorus:

||-----------------|---------||--------------|
||-----------------|---------||--------------|
||o----------------|--------o||--------------|
||o-7--7-----------|-7\-----o||--7--9--2--9--|
||-------9-7---7-9-|---------||--7--9--2--9--|

|-7--7-----------|-7--7-----------o||
|------9-7---7-9-|------9-7---7-9--||
|----------9-----|----------9------||

The part played under the solo is the Verse Intro and the Outro Chorus

consists of the same bends that are in the Intro. The next two verses are

the exact same as the first two except the last verse is played an octave

higher. And you end on this:

|----------------|-----------|
|----------------|-----------|
|----------------|-----------|
|-7--7-----------|-7\--------|
|------9-7---7-9-|-----------|
|----------9-----|-----------|

Lyrics:

Don't you don't you want to thrill me

Don't you be afraid to tell me

Tell me if you think it's ugly

But now don't you want to touch it anyway

I've been looking for a reject

And you ain't had nothing like me yet

Don't you think it's time for motion

I can take what you've been pushin'

Hey I know what to do

I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you

Fuck you

Ya I know what to do

I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you

Fuck you I'm gonna

I'm the beast and you're the master

You're the meat of the matter

I'm no fool for discretion

When it's on the tip of my tongue

Don't you don't you want to thrill me

Don't you be afraid to tell me

Tell me if you think it's ugly

But now don't you want to touch it anyway
