Well, I was all ready to tab this song when i checked to make sure that there wasn't
already a tab up for this song (only 1 day after the CD came out).

Well, as you've probably seen, the chords for this song have already been written out,
and that chord tab is very accurate, however, the subtle nuances of the song must be
explored.

So, the Verse Chords can be Played Basically 2 ways, depending on you're preference.
So here it is:

(as weird as this sounds, if the part below is played quickly enough, it works.)

Main Riff (not played until 2nd Verse)

            Maybe this is how it's supposed to be
(Main Riff is now played over Chords)

           Maybe it's trapped in a jar
              E                                 A
            Something We've already seen

(Play this over the next 2/3 lines)
             F#m                           E
            Looking forward as we rewind
             F#m                        E
            Looking back is a trap sometimes
              F#m                       E         A
            Being here is so easy to do
             E
             If you want to
             A
            If you want to

Repeat this to the end.
Also, play the Main Riff over the "If you want to" played with E
