[Intro]
 
Here's the synth pad that plays throughout the song (0:01)

[Verse]
 
In the first half of the verse, there's no guitar,
but here's the chords to follow along (0:35)
 
Dm, C, Gm, Bb
 
This is the palm muted guitar that plays at 0:53
 
The fourth bar is a little different, so look out for that

[Verse 2]
 
So at 1:28, there's a fuzzy guitar with some reverb in the background

[Solo]
 
Basically the same pattern as the palm muted verse, except it sounds like it modulates back and fourth
with added fifths. It's a little tough to sound out, but I gave it my best guess. (2:20)
