Ok... This tab was a pain in the ass. During the verse and intro parts where the
B chord is being picked, the constant B root note is somewhat awkward to play and
as such, I would leave out every second instance of it, unless you can manage it.
The entire bridge part, I'm only 90% sure of. It's very hard to hear exactly what
the guitar is doing with everything going on. If anyone thinks they've got it figured
more accurately, by all means submit a correction. If anything else seems
incomplete/inaccurate, please let me know.

For the last prechorus, just hit each chord once, until the normal picking

Then the chorus twice and play the second part of the intro.
