Bass plays Riff A, guitar plays the following variation:

Then guitar and bass both play root notes as in first verse:
Tried to keep you down, but ....
Riff A again, full blast:
What you're tryin' to say is ....
Chorus is played the same as before, fourth time Riff C leads into Riff D
as follows:
Riff D repeat 4 times

Switch to doubletime feel. Bass and guitar play 16th notes on low F# for
six measures, then guitar switches to F# on D string 4th fret for next
two measures. Next eight measures, bass stays on F# and guitar plays:
a |----|-4~-|-5~-|-2~-|-4~-|----|-----------------|-------b---r-----|
e |-2~-|----|----|----|----|-0~-|-0-2---0-2---0-2-|---0-2-/-3-\-2---|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
End doubletime feel
Riff A:
Say you won't go.....
Riff B (actually, play last two measures of Riff B twice)
(mumbled) Won't go... won't go... say it...
3rd "verse" - Bass plays Riff A once while guitar holds last F# of Riff B
Riff A, guitar plays root notes only:
(Vocal rests first two measures)
Get you in a strangle ....
Riff A full blast once again:
What you're tryin' to say is ....
Chorus - Riff C four times again, last time ends like this:
g |-------2-----5-----4-------------------------|---------|
d |-4-----2-----5-----4-------------------5-5---|-4-------|
a |-4-----0-----3-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-2---5-5---|-4-------|
e |-2-----------------------------------0-3-3-0-|-2-------|

Disclaimer: This may not be exactly the way Tool plays it. It is, however,
exactly the way I play it, for what that's worth.
