Info & Disclaimers:
1.  I'm still learning (only been playing ~3 months), and there are parts that are still 
me so far, but I think the main riff is accurate (except it's missing a "turnaround" 
the last & first E)
2.  I haven't found the lyrics online, and I haven't quite figured out the 3rd line of 
2nd verse yet (uncertainty denoted by square brackets).
3.  Play it slow, and play it loud!  Don't just pluck the strings, PLUCK THE STRINGS!

Tuning:  Standard

h  hammer-on
p  pull-off
b  bend
s  stacato

("Es" above the lyrics = an open E (sixth) string, played stacato;
"G-chord" should be self-explanetory)

Verse 1:
        Es        G-chord
I could steal the flame, from a candlelight          

       Es         G-chord
Stab a man in the back, while I look in his eyes     

Es          G-chord
Whisper the words, you like right in your ear        

            Es
But there's things I'll do, when you're not here     


Verse2:
       Es         G-chord
I will tell you I love you, until the end of time    

     Es                  G-chord
Take the money from your pocket, put it into mine    

E        G-chord
We can trust, don't have any fear                

            Es
But there's things I'll do, when you're not here     

  (a lot of E's and G's)

So put your little hand in mine,
Let's walk a while,
I'll make you happy as a buzzing bee

But when the lights go out,
And you're not around,
I'll do the things that you'll never see




Verse 3:
     Es        G-chord
Some creatures walk, or fly above
           Es           G-chord
But like a snake in the grass, I'll sneak 'round real low
Es           G-chord
You'll never need to shed a tear
    Es
The nasty little things are done when you're not here
