Chords
I love this song so much.
I used live versions to make this tab for 3 guitar parts: lead, rhythm, and a third one that's a bit of both.
I tried to make it as organized as I could since there's a lot going on in this song.
If you would like, I also posted a separate bass tab,
and you'll notice the rhythm part generally follows the bass part.

"I love this"
[Pre-Chorus]
At this point in the song, a violin and cello come in while the lead plays their usual pre-chorus part.
If you only have guitarists, you can play the second pre-chorus in this way below, minus drums:
Lead:
"Greased sheets..." e|-8---8---8---8---7---7---7---7---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---| B|---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8-| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| "Deep heat..." e|-8---8---8---8---7---7---7---7---5---5---5---5---| B|---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8-| G|-------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------|
Rhythm (starts later, arpeggiate each strum like usual):
"Greased sheets..." e|-x--------x--------x----------------| B|-5--------7--------8----------------| G|-5--------7--------9----------------| D|-5--------7--------9----------------| A|-3--------5--------7----------------| E|-x--------x--------x----------------| "Deep heat..." e|-x--------x--------x----------------| B|-5--------7--------x----------------| G|-5--------7--------6----------------| D|-5--------7--------7----------------| A|-3--------5--------7----------------| E|-x--------x--------5----------------|

"I love this"
[Outro]
Either rhythm or the third guitar plays this part (it harmonizes with the bass):
e|----------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------| D|--------------------------9--9-7--------| A|-7---10--10-9--7---7--5----------10--9--| E|----------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------9--9-9h10p9-9h10p9-| A|-7---10--10-9--7---7--5----------------------| E|---------------------------------------------|

The fifth time, lead very quietly plays something like this and fades out during the sixth time:
e|--------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------| G|-7h9-9-9-9p7-7h9-9-9-9p7-7h9-9-9-9p7--| D|--------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------|

[Intro]
Greased sheets, leave my right hand free
It’s hard to be alone
Deep heat, turn the lights down in my home
I love this
[Verse 1]
My finger touch
I've been feeling stuff
Dark meat, skin pleat, I'm working
Oh, monkey glove
You threw away two pints of blood
It's alright, I'm jerking
[Pre-Chorus]
I love this
Greased sheets, leave my right hand free
It’s hard to be alone
Deep heat, turn the lights down in my home
[Chorus]
When I'm alone (Onanism)
It's automatic, oh
I dig for life in the eye of my thighs
I can't believe petite mort
I'm a slave at your door
And I feel to be free, oh, the irony
[Verse 2]
When I go blind, will you keep in mind
I had fun, I got it on
Endorphins
I gave it all but under patriarchal law
I'm gonna die a virgin
[Pre-Chorus]
I love this
Greased sheets, leave my right hand free
It’s hard to be alone
Deep heat, turn the lights down in my home
[Chorus]
When I'm alone (Onanism)
It's automatic, oh
I dig for life in the eye of my thighs
I can't believe petite mort
I'm a slave at your door
And I feel to be free, oh, the irony
(I love this)
