I may have got the timings a bit wrong but all the notes are right and work perfectly 
me.

Verse:

Acoustic Riff at beginning (I put the note played on the B-string in brackets because it
also be played instead):
e-----------------------------------------------|
B--------(6)------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------|
A-3h5-3-5-8-7-7-7h8-7-5-3-1-0-1-0---------------|
D---------------------------------3-3-3h5-3-0---| X4

Childbirth tears upon her muscles
Very first, second a screaming icon
Babies in time barely even recognise
Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips

Pre-Chorus:

   D5                 G5
My idea of love comes from
            C5                F5
A childhood glimpse of pornography
             D5         G5
Though there is no true love
       Bb5                C5
Just a finely tuned jealousy

Chorus (ok I don't think these chords are completely accurate, but a good basis)

C5                     G5   F5
Life becoming a landslide
    Bb5              C5
Ice freezing, nature dead
C5                     G5   F5
Life becoming a landslide
        Bb5         C5
I don't wanna be a man

Verse:
(Distorted Guitar, Palm Muted) U can work out the exact number of times you play each
I just put a rough guidance)
e--------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------/3---------------|
A-5-5555-3-5-/8--3-33333-3h5-3-1-0-1-1111-0-1---------------5--|
D-----------------------------------------------3-3333-3/5-0---|

I usually play the last note like this for more effect:
e--
B---
G---
D---
A---
E-/12

Everyday more numb to agony
This the howl, this the sigh of the lonely
One day I realise oil on canvas
Can never paint a petal oh so delicate

Then this:
