The verse:

A5 power chords, tickling a G5 power chord at the beginning of every
couple measures, and at the beginning of each measure during the
second part of the verse.  Here's the gist with a lame attempt at the lyrics.

A5                             G5
Frequently called nothin' buts 
A5                            G5
Snorin' when you snap it back
A5       G5
Everyone
A5             G5
Knows it's you
A5         G5   A5  
Why won't you admit it, scream
E5
You

That E5 is:
G|--9--|
D|--9--|
A|--7--|
E|-----|

Then, the little bridge-riff is:

A|--7----8--7-|
And take it all

Verse again, then the chorus, which goes like this:

A5 
single-note A (7th fret on D)  D5
                          I be-lieve,
          A-note C5      E5        
that I'll never  leave              your serpentine pad.

(just in case yr wondering, all the chords are barre)

My interpretation of the lyrics:

Frequently called nothin' buts
Snorin' when you snap it back
Everybody, knows it's you, why won't you admit it, scream!
You
And take it all

Corporate integration
From the corporation
I don't need this corporation attitude
Tude tude tude

E|--Chor| us--
I believe,
That I'll never leave
Your serpentine pad

Darlin' when you wake up
Better ask the grown-ups
If they have, hose and twine, leave the man who needed the lice
Think it might

Be another scene, bet
I don't wanna know, but
I don't know, if I should, if I could or if I would, anyway
(serpentine pad)

E|--Chor| us--
