alright, this is my version of playing the tune. 1st tune the 6th string down so that when you hit the 7th fret, it sounds like the 5th string open.
then follow the rest from there.

b= 1/4 bend (in this song)        
s=slide
h=hammer-ons
p=pull-offs
RIFFs:
note: the riffs plays slightly faster after played in the intro

and also that the 3rd fret is a slide like so for riff b

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week I was drawn into
your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

CHORUS:
        
Hey 
Wait 
I've got a new conplaint 
For-ever in 
debt to your priceless advice 
                                         

The rest of the song is the same thing. here you got the lyrics:

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back


Thanks To: my uncle who encouraged me to play guitar, after a year i'd say it was well worth it.

thanks, enjoy, and also i want to point that there are minor add-ins here and there throughout the song, but the structure is the same nonetheless
also, it's alot easier to get the gist of the lyrics to sing the song in terms if you listen to the s
