Place a capo on the 1st fret. This is the way JR Aquino plays it in his cover.
It also sounds good when you play it along with the original version.

[Verse 2]
Sink full of dishes pacin' in the kitchen, cocaine for breakfast, yikes
Bed full of women, flip on a tripod, little red light on shootin'

You put me on a feelin' I never had, never had, never had
And ever since I've been tryna get it back, pick it up and put it back
Now I'm somethin' like the chemist on campus

Makin' pretty love to me pretty, pity pity
I can't feel a thing
I can't feel her
Novacane for the pain
