This song takes a lot of patience. Ive followed one of the guitars, im assuming lead
In some spots there is a lot going on, so you have to listen closely to see where you are.
listed a lot of times to help with that. Here goes:
Verse(works as intro as well)
Part 1
On the 4th time switch end note to*:
e|--------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
G|---9-8-6-4-1-4-1-4--------------|---9-8-6-4-1-4-1-*2*---------------------|
D|--------------------------x3----|-----------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
E|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------------------|
The first part naturally leads into this guitar part. Just listen for timing.
Part 2

B|--------2-------2---2----3-2----------------------------------------------|
G|--2-2-2---2-2-2---2---2-------2--1-1--------------------------------------|

A|---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0---0-0---------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Variation
When the vocals start, and the verse starts over again, there is a variation in it. On
third time you play "Part 1" of the verse, when he sings the line "She thinks that
Its a very basic change, you just repeat the 4's and 1's for another full measure instead
of playing the higher notes again. This might sound stupid as im saying it but listen and
know what I mean.
Starting at: 0:28

Bridge 2
This is the other short bridge starting at 1:10 that transfers into the faster part of
song. "You wanted everythnig to change..." Listen to find out the strumming pattern for yourself.

Bridge 3
This is actaully the Verse parts 1 and 2, note for note to the one I showed above,
played with distortion. So i dont need to show it, just look up. Begins directly after Bridge
Carries until Verse part 3. Simple stuff.
Verse Part 3
They vary and switch their riffs a lot. Like...a lot. This starts at 1:44 and carries to
1:58. Listen for the timing.

Verse Part 4
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/y/youth-group/62035.html ]
Ill call this part 4, but its really just part two sped up with no open notes on the A
and more 2s on the G. Starts where verse part 3 ends, vocals go "....But she...wonders
many"
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------2------2--2--32---------------------------------------------------|
G|--222222-222222-22-22--211------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Verse part 5
Im beginning to think calling anything verse was stupid and i shouldve just called them
"riffs". Anyway. This starts at 2:04. "Shes making pictures." This part is sorta hard to
because on the hits after the ones, theres another guitar hitting higher notes, so your
own may sound off key. Or i used the wrong chord, i guess ill find that out eventually.
listen for timing on the ending 1s and 2s, because you only really need to hit them once
and let them ring. I cant really show it, its not hard if you listen.

G|--12221222121211----------------------------------------------------------|

E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Verse part 6
This starts at about 2:24 ("You wanted everything to change...") and goes until 2:53,
the final solo starts. Its a fairly easy rythym chord adventure, but there are a few
from the steady timing, near the end of it. Once again, just listen, easy to hear.
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--4444444444444444--2222222222222222--0000000000000000--------------------|

E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Solo
This is the solo starting at about 2:53. Carries out until the end.
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------0-0-0-0---777777777777797/5555555/1010101010101010-------|

D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Continued directly from the 10's above. If its easier for you to understand, play 12's
about 3:12 until about 3:17. and you can see the timing more easily.
