I play it on an acoustic and I think it sounds great this way...

We will cure this dirty old disease F-pause- Well if you gots the poison I gots the remedy the remedy is the experience This is a dangerous liaison I says the comedy is that its serious. This is a strange enough new play on words I says the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends F-pause- Well it all amounts to nothing in the end. I----- I wont worry my life away. I----- I wont worry my life away. -pause- Well I heard two men talking on the radio in a cross fire kind of new reality show Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack Well they were counting down the ways to stab the brother in the be right back after this the unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his catastrophy dance with me, F-pause- cause if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy the remedy is the experience This is a dangerous liaison I says the comedy is that its serious. This is a strange enough new play on words I says the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends F-pause- Well it all amounts to nothing in the end. I----- I wont worry my life away. I----- I wont worry my life away. When I fall in love I take my time There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why -- Because the remedy is the experience This is a dangerous liaison I says the comedy is that its serious This is a strange enough new play on words I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends -pause- because it all amounts to nothing in the end. I----- I wont worry my life away. I----- I wont worry my life away. I wont and I wont and I wont
