  			I had to tab this song, my favourite on the album. Hopefully this is all correct and  
easy to understand, it's fairly simple to play ~ just mainly repetitions of the main riff  
then chords are used in the chorus, so, here it is: 

Artist: Courtney Love

C                  C/B 
Look at me for the very last time 
       Am 
I've climbed so high 
         G                 F 
I've got no place left to climb 
         C        G 
And I know, no tomorrow... 
    C                  C/B 
Oh! Rockstar, popstar, everybody dies! 
Am                               G 
All tomorrow's parties they have happened tonight 
      F           C                 G 
And I know that I won't see, see tomorrow...

Bb               Am    G 
Turn off all the porno please

I've been drowning here for days 
Bb            Am           G 
Bad food, bad sex, bad TV, internet 
Bb             C            G 
Take all these stupid pills away 

           ---------------------------- 

           C 
Before the spark in my eyes 
C/B 
Turns to strychnine 

Am                        G 
All this bleeding heart is still a valentine 
          F                         C 
I'm gonna rock this thing until the wheels fall off 
      G 
Cause grrls like me, we always get what we want 

Yeah, yeah, yeah... 

(The rest up until 'cruising down the sunset strip' are the same chords as above, and  
it's back to the intro for the last verse)
