After watching the '98 MTV Awards many times, I changed the chorus around a bit.
 
Verse
"Oh make me over"
   A5    C#5   F#5
e|-----------------|
B|-----------------|
G|-----------------|
D|-7-7--11-11--4-4-|
A|-7-7--11-11--4-4-|
E|-5-5--9--9---2-2-|
Keep these notes short, except for the last F#5 before
the chorus, which you should let ring.
 
Chorus
"Hey...so glad..."
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---3-3-3-3--2-2-2-2--3-3-3-3--2-2-2-2-------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
G|---2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2----------4-4-4-4--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
D|---0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2--0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
A|---------------------------------------4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2------------------|
E|---------------------------------------2-2-2-2--------------------------|
 
Bridge
 
 A              D         A      D
   When I wake up, in my makeup
 A         D
It's too early
F#
For that dress
 A               D      A                 D
Wilted and faded, somewhere in hollywood
A               D
I'm glad I came here
 F#
With your pound of flesh
 
The first two times through pick the chords like this:
     A    D
e|---------2-|
B|----2---3--|
G|---2---2---|
D|--2---0----|
A|-0---------|
E|-----------|
 
The third & fourth times through just play normal chords. On the
F#, jam on the distortion and head into the verse.
 
Outro:
It's just the same as the verse, but when Courtney sings "No I'm not selling cheap"
(the last lyric), play F#5 with a bit of tremolo, then play the main riff once again.
 
Thanks to Eddie Chan <wizzfizz@iname.com> for pointing out an error.

verse 1
love hangs herself
with the bedsheets in her cell
threw myslef on fires for you
10 good reasons to stay alive
10 good reasons that I can't find

oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
so sick in his body, so sick in his soul
oh, give me one reason to be beautiful
oh, and everything I am
 
verse 2
love hates you
I live my life in ruins for you
and for all your secrets kept
i squashed the blossom, and the blossom's dead
 
repeat chorus
 
bridge
miles, and miles of perfect shin
I swear I do, I fit right in
my love burns through everything
I cannot breathe
miles and miles of perfect sin
I swear, I said, I fit right in
I fit right in your perfect skin
I cannot breathe
 
verse 3
hey, baby, take it all the way...down
hey, baby, taste me anyway
oh, you were born
so pretty oh summerbabe
we'll never know..
and fading like a rose
 
2nd chorus
give me a reason to be beautiful
so sick in his body, so sick in his soul
i'll give you my body, just sell me your soul
oh, and everything I am will be bought and sold
oh, and everything I am will turn hard and cold
 
last verse
and they say, in the end
you'll get bitter just like them
and they steal your heart away
when the fire goes out you better learn to fake
it's better to rise than fade away...
