I'm tabbing Russell's guitar, see, the solo guitar. I'll add some rhythm and chord positions though.
Mark Webber used to be their touring member in '94 I think, and he played open chord positions.
Throughout the song, the guitar has some kind of vibratto fuzzy tone.
 
[Intro]
It's fine to sit on a Dm chord if you want to, like they do live. I'll suggest:
 
e|---10--|
B|---10--|
G|---10--|
D|---12--|
A|---0---|
E|---x---|
 
Then, the chord progression is
Dm
C G   C G

Dm
No wonder you're looking thin
      C             G          C         G      Dm
When all that you live on is lipgloss and cigarettes
 
And scraps at the end of the day
           C         G           C         G        Dm
When he's given the rest to someone with long black hair
                                    C          G
All those nights in, making such a mess of the bed
          C         G           Dm
Oh, you never ever want to go home
                                      C               G
And he wants you so you may as well hang around for a while
          C             G      F
Call your dad on the phone, oh

He changed his mind last Monday

So you've gotta leave by Sunday, yeah
 
(The F chords sound good also as A / Am barre chords)

Dm
Oh, and you feel such a fool
         C            G                C        G            Dm
For laughing at bad jokes and putting up with all of his friends
 
And kissing in public
          C         G            C          G     Dm
What are they gonna say when they run into you again?
                                        C           G
That your stomach looks bigger and your hair is a mess
         C             G              Dm
And your eyes are just holes in your face
                                    C
And it rains every day and when it doesn't
     G             C     G            F
The sun makes you feel worse anyway, oh
