We have an official Closer tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
(this part is originally played by bass, but sounds decent on guitar)
e|----------------------------------|
B|-------12----------15----------14-| 3x \
G|----------------------------------|       changes to 4x x 4x when
D|-9----------12----------11--------| 5x /  verse begins though
A|----------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------|
 
(matthew doesnt "play" this part, he does something with his pickup,
watch any live video if you dont know what i mean)
...(but i guess it could be played like this)
