Here is the correct way to play this song, everyone else has the intro wrong, this is right.
I've been playing in standard.  Could be dropped 1/2 step.
Listen to the song for timing and rhythm.  Its fairly simple. Cheers
 
 
[Intro]
 
e|-----------------------------------------------0--|
B|-----------------------------------------------0--|
G|-----------------------------------------------1--|
D|------------------6-----------------------6-------|
A|-----7-9-7------7------------7-9-7------7---------|
E|-7h9--------3/5-----0----7h9--------3/5-----0-----|(x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
(intro riff) (x2)
 
I’ll say this once again
You people, you are my friends
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
e|----------------------2--4------------------------|
B|----------------------2--4------------------------|
G|----------------------2--5------------------------|
D|-----------------6----4--6------------------------|
A|-----7-9-7-----7------4--6------------------------|
E|-7h9-------3/5-----0--2--4------------------------|
 
The devil, he can’t come in
Tonight, that’s right
 
 
Here are the Chords that I play in the chorus (more of power chord style)
 
C# - x466xx
A  - x0222x
E  - 022xxx
B  - 799xxx (slide down)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#          A   E
Looking for misery, but she found me
C#          A           E
Lying naked on the floor
C#          A       E
I was headed insane, the devil told me his name
C#          A           B\ (slide down)
But he’s not welcome here, anymore
 
 
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
 
Tell me what do you see
(What do you see?)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
(same as previous)
 
When you’re looking at me?
(When you look at me)
This sense of responsibility is killing me inside, yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
(same as previous)
 
C#           A    E
Looking for misery, but she found me
C#     A                E
Lying naked on the floor
(Stay away, sweet misery)
C#           A          E
I was headed insane, the devil told me his name
C#          A                B\ (slide down)
But he’s not welcome there, anymore
 
 
Here are the chords I play in the bridge:
E          - 022100
C#         - 046600
Ab         - 066400
A          - 466000
 
 
[Bridge]
 
E  C#  Ab  A
              Stay away, sweet misery
E  C#  Ab  A
              Stay away, sweet misery
E  C#  Ab  A - x2
 
 
[Post-Bridge]
 
Ab  A  E (x4)
 
 
[Solo]
 
e|--------------------------      -------------------|
B|-\9-12-9----------9-12-9--      -9-9-9-9-7-7-9-5~--|

The intro doesn't sound right - watch them play it live, this isn't how Jared plays it. He starts with an open E to play the first 5 notes of the intro/pre-chorus and slides up to what I'm guessing is a C/F# (I haven't tabbed it myself yet, just going by what I saw last night at a concert). Anyway this just doesn't sound right.

Hi. Just wanna say thanks for the great tab, it's awesome. But could you explain me what that B slide means? I'm a beginner. Thanks again.
