The main riff is actually on a piano.  I'm trying to approximate it for guitar.

[Verse]    Use main riff
Poetry and angels, flowers and perfume
You fill your house with pretty things, pretty things, to hide the bitter truth
Well there's a fire on the mountain, burning out of control
And you're standing at the top now with nowhere left to go
[Chorus]
ESo lock your doors up tight and Esus4say a prayer tonight
You Eknow it's hard to keep the demons Adown
When it comes Aaround.  EmIn the Ddarkness of Emyour Aroom
While you're Emdrinking to your Dpast and Emlivin' your Acartoon
Deep Emdown in the Dgutter they're Emcalling your Aname
GOne D6day it comes E7around
[Verse]    Use main riff
And you were such a pretty woman, those were the days
One thing's for sure in this town, baby, being pretty pays
But all the fame and riches, gonna turn out to be Fool's gold
When you look to find shelter in the ones you bought and sold
[Chorus]
ESo sad, so alone, It cuts right Esus4to the bone
When you Efind out how it feels to hit the Aground
When it comes Aaround.  EmIn the Ddarkness of Emyour Aroom
While you're Emdrinking to your Dpast and Emlivin' your Acartoon
Deep Emdown in the Dgutter or Emup on the Astage
GOne D6day it comes Aaround.  TEmurn it Doff, man, I've Emseen too Amuch
You better Emlook over your Dshoulder, honey you're Emlosin' your Atouch
Deep Emdown in the Dgutter or Emup on the staAge
