I have arranged the CORRECT chords,
I have tabbed out how many times each chord is played.
It's a fairly simple ska/reggae strumming pattern.
!!!!****{ALL CHORDS ARE RELATIVE TO THE CAPO}****!!!!
TUNING: STANDARD (eBGDAE/CAPO 1ST FRET)
CHORDS USED:
G Bm A D Dm Bb C
e[-3--2--0--5--5--6--8---]
B[-3--3--2--7--6--6--8---]
G[-0--4--2--7--7--7--9---]
D[-0--4--2--7--7--8--10--]
A[-2--2--0--5--5--8--10--]
E[-3--2-----------6--8---]
This song can also be played without a capo,
By using a few simple barre chords.
However, I will tab this song as it is played with a capo.
e[--Eb6--]
B[--8--]
G[--8--]
D[--8--]
A[--6--]
E[-(6)-]
So the Bb note in the parenthesis,
Could be left out of the Eb chord fingering,
The barre chords are as follows:
e[--Eb6--Cm-8-Bb-6-Ab-4--Ebm-6---B7--Db9--]
B[--8---8--6--4---7---7--9--]
G[--8---8--7--5---8---8--10-]
D[--8---10-8--6---8---9--11-]
A[--6---10-8--6---6---9--11-]
E[-(6)--8--6--4--(6)--7--9--]
VERSE 1:
The root notes of the chord are strummed once,
(Much like a "5" chord, or power chord).
Aside from the G chord at the end of each phrase.

PM. ............... ............... ................................
DIt's been a while since BmI've seen your Aface, G
DGotta say that I'm happBmy to see you come Aaround my place.
Now, DI think we've Bmtalked about it,
AAnd I think I know what's coming up nextG,
DLet's put our mindBms away and let our horAmones do the restG. DDoes it seem
Obscene? BmDoes it seem like a Abad thing?G
DWell if it is, BmI'm sorry MissA, but you know I'm just nine-teenG.
DSo don't be afBmraid if my pants Astart to leak.G
DYou know damn Bmwell I'm in my Asexual peak.G
Well... G Bm A
The last three chords of the verse(G, Bm, and A),
Are only played once each,
"...Well..."

CHORUS:
GWhy don't you have somBme dirty hot sex witAh me?
GIt ain't like I'm askBmin you to give it up for Afree.
GWe can start it righBmt now baby get on your kneAes,
GDon't make me beg agaiBmn girl I just said pleaAse.

(Although it uses the same chords and similar structure).

DNow when you looBmk down don't be Amisled.
DI found my life's Bmpurpose and it's getting Aup stairs and into your beGd.
DWell there's the phonBme girl go right on aheaAd.
DI'm sure you'd ratBmher be with your stupid Aboyfriend instead!G
BRIDGE:
The tempo dramatically reduces here,
And the notes are strummed once,
A smooth chorus or reverb setting here is superb.
Strum the strings closer to the neck,
This technique will give you a more hollow sound out of the chords.
