Chords

I love this song; it's a great example of artistic cussing. I play a ukulele so I'm not familiar with guitar tabs. Here are the chords and some notes for picking. [Intro]
chords: G Bm Em C (x2)
picking (similar pattern throughout):
GAB- GABDB GF#EDC
       G              Bm
I am a pain in your ass

        Em                            C
And I'm wondering how long it's gonna last

       G             Bm
Be my mirror, be my friend,

        Em
Be the workhouse of the energy

   C7
I twist your arm to spin
[Refrain]
     A7                 Cm
Everyday, like a power station

            G          D/F#
You know it isn't good

              Esus4            E
I know you're burning too much wood

            Am
Oh, and you burn out

                D
The twisted irony is

                        G
Your ashes come home to me

              Bm
(Come home to me) <-- lyrics second time only

             Em      C
Come home to me

             G
So we take a walk

              Bm
To make some sense

        Em                          C
And I'm wondering if you fancy my defence

       G
I have pushed you

        Bm
Way too far

            Em
And you say Fuck you little princess

         C7
Who the hell do you think you are?
[Refrain]
     A7                 Cm
Everyday, like a power station

            G          D/F#
You know it isn't good

              Esus4            E
I know you're burning too much wood

            Am
Oh, and you burn out

                D
The twisted irony is

Come home to me

             C                                          G
Cos no other sucker's gonna have you on a fucking mantelpiece

The mantelpiece

The mantelpiece
