-Chords appearing over tablature are the chord changes the (bass/keyboard) is playing.
-This tab is for the first guitar, except the lead riff, and the section at the end where
 I tell you what the 2nd guitar is doing (duh).

Chords:

- As it's the way Steven plays them, the F and C chords are to be played as barre
  chords. You can however, play the open-style versions of the chords if you 
  prefer and it'll sound just fine.

D|-------------------------14-------------------|

Hold the last note, and you're done!




2ND GUITAR:

The second guitar in this song is a bit weird. It's a background part, but
at the same time, it's the lead guitar part as well. 

-During the verses and 1st chorus the lead guitar improvs quietly in 16th notes 
 generally around these notes:

e|-----------10-12-15--| 
B|--10-12-13-----------|
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|

-Listen to the song for examples of this.


For the 3rd chorus, the the second guitar takes a mini solo the first repeat, then
on the second repeat (when the lyrics kick in) it plays the the last two bars of the
"2nd Guitar Lead Riff" (Up above).

For beginner soloists, a foolproof scale to use for soloing in this song is:

   M  P  M  P  I  P  I  R  P  M  P  M  P
e|----------------------------------15-17-|
B|----------------------------15-17-------|
G|-------------------14-16-17-------------|
D|-------------14-17----------------------|
A|-------15-17----------------------------|
E|-15-17----------------------------------|

This scale has no wrong notes in it. 

For more advanced soloists, just do yo thang.
