Verse 1

Guitar 1:

In the beginning of it there’s a weird noise in the background, I can’t tell if it’s vocals or an instrument
but it’s just fret 7 of the G string over and over again and it stops at "I remember when my father..."

then there’s what I think is a saxophone that plays

e|-8-8-13-13~-(slight bend on the second 13 as it fades out)-----------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Intro comes back in around "I remember the fear in your eyes..."

e|----10---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------13--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-10----10------------------------------------------------------------------| cont. to chorus
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Also, while that is playing there’s another sax sound, I think it’s the same as before

Guitar 2:

e|-8-8-13-13~-(slight bend on the second 13 as it fades out)-----------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Bridge

Guitar 1:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-3-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-3-(just strum this all the way through with a pause in the middle---------|
A|-1-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 2:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-10-7-10-7-10-7-5/7--------------------------------------------------------| x4
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Instead of playing it all the way through the fourth time, skip the 5/7 and slide down to any fret

After the pause, repeat it 4x again but without either slide at the end, just skip that altogether.
You can play the 10th fret 4x with the drums in the song at this point

When vocals come back into the bridge:

Guitar 1:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-3-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-3-(strum)-3---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-1---------3-(strum)-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------1---------------------------------------------------------------|

Pause during clicking noise and then play again

Guitar 2:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-10-7-10-7-10-7-5/7--------------------------------------------------------| x4
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Pause during clicking noise and then play again
