Give me mouth-to-mouth, and make amends.
Knock me off my feet like heroin.
No need to disguise or to pretend.
Don't misconstrue and don't misapprehend.
There's nothing left, no fortress, to defend.
And tonight's the night that we begin the end.
 
 
Chorus:
 
  E G#m [x2]
 
 
You and I kept looking to transcend.
The fact that I was breaking to your bend.
But this is now, and, sadly, that was then.
And tonight's the night that we begin the end.
 
 
          E                   G#m
  And I tried, God knows, I tried.
                                   E
  There's you can do to change my mind.
                              G#m
  And I tried, God knows, I tried.
                                           B
  There's nothing you can do to change my mind.
                                     G#m
  And I don't enjoy to watch you crumble,
 
  I don't enjoy to watch you cry.
   D#
  Make no mistake. [x2]
 
 
Look me in the eyes, say that again.
Blame me for the sorry state you're in.
It's not my fault if you can't comprehend
that tonight's the night that we begin the end.
 
      E                   G#m
  I tried, God knows, I tried,
                                               E
  but there's nothing you can do to change my mind.
                          G#m
  I tried, God knows, I tried,
                                               C#m
  but there's nothing you can do to change my mind.
                                 G#m                                 C#m
  I don't enjoy to watch you crumble! I don't enjoy to watch you cry.
                                 G#m
  I don't enjoy to watch you crumble! I don't enjoy to watch you cry.
 
  Make no mistake.
              E
  Make no mistake.
 
 
Look me in the eye, say that again.

Good tab, but I think the intro alternates between B-----12-12------------- B---11-----11----------- B-----12--12------------ B---11--11--11---------- on the high strings. Just listen to the song to here where. Might be in the verse too.

Thanks mate, great tab. I think he uses a different tuning though. What I do is I tune my guitar 1 1/2 step lower: C# F# B E G# G#. This way all the strings (except the E) are in the key of the song (G#m). It allows you to play the chords with the high strings open like Placebo often do: E 355400 G#m 799700 B 1012121100 D# 244300 C#m 022000 The riff becomes: G#|---------15--15------------15--15------------15--15----------15--15--| G#|-------14------14--------14--14--14--------14------14------14--14--14| E|-----------------------------------------------------14--------------| B|12---------------12----------------12--------------------------------| F#|---------------------------------------------------------------------| C#|---------------------------------------------------------------------| G#|--------15--15-----------15--15-----------15--15-----------15--15--| G#|------14------14-------14--14--14-------14------14-------14--14--14| E|--------------------------------------------------11---------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| F#|14--------------14---------------14--------------------------------| C#|-------------------------------------------------------------------| I think it makes sense, also because when they play it live, Stefan looks like he's playing quite high on the neck, as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcqjMlRGnDc.
