Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Frequently  called nothin' buts
Snorin'  when you snap it back
Everyone
Knows  it's you
Why  won't you  admit  it, scream
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:
 single-note  (7th fret on )
  I be-lieve,
 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
 -
 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)

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
