You'll need to listen to the song to figure out how these lead parts fit in with
the chords as they're quite tricky
Corrections welcome!
Great starting point.
4th line "You'll never get to know" there should be an A chord above "never". Also, I don't think the F#m ever works and should (usually) be replaced with an A maj chord.
In the line "Wound up tight" above "up" is an F#m. Instead maybe just play the F# (6th string 2nd fret) as an angel note transition to C maj chord.
Above "Blowing out to drift" note that the A maj barre chord (E style 5th fret) is played as you can hear strings 1, 2, 3 (notes A, E, C#) which aren't in the open A maj chord.
Instead of C#dim try Em6 (042000).
Instead of D# try D#dim (x6757x).
There's some form of B after the C in the progression "C#dim D5 (slide to) E5 C". Try B7 or B barre (A style 2nd fret).
