Repeat the chorus twice
 
On the final 2 choruses, there’s a third guitar part. I think it goes like this:
 
E|---------------------------------|
B|-8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---|
G|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7-|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
  e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
 
E|---------------------------------|
B|-7---7---7---7---7---7---7p8-8-8-|
G|---7---7---7---7---7---7-7-7-7-7-|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
  e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
 
E|---------------------------------|
B|-8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---|
G|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7-|

And just do that for both of the choruses.
