That's the last rithm, you keep playing it until the song fades out.
That's the end of the song.
 
In the song you may think that Tom plays the same notes as triplets....
But that's Brad or Joe's guitar doing some background sounds...
the bass rithm is pretty easy to listen in this song and should be really easy for you to play it.
