Ok i made tabbed this song out because all of the other ones online
have an idea of how this song goes but are horribly wrong at some points.
I based this tab off of the acoustic version found on www.vh1.com
Any mistakes on this I will assume to be typos except for maybe a chord or two.
Enjoy and use wisely.

I heard two men talking on the radio
in a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
they were counting down the days to stab the brother in the be right
back after this the unavoidable kiss,
where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast
his catastrophy dance with me,
because if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy
Then play the Chorus again.
