Play these chords very loosely, hitting open strings often. This
is just an example. Anything you play with those chords will sound good.
Verse -
-- Same as Intro riff but not as broken up. Repeat Fill 1 often --
-Verse 1:
E5(7th fret) C5C5
Wherever you are...
(FILL 1)

Pre Chorus -

-Verse 3:
-- Only play bassline with distorted guitar noises --
E5E5 C5C5

(FILL 1)
-- play bassline once alone --
Before the last chorus play this and then skip the first part of
the chorus and go to where he sings "Cold Contaigous"
E5E5 (pause) C5C5
E5E5 (pause) C5C5
(heavy downstrokes)
Well, thats it. There are a lot of free flowing guitar riffs guitarist
Nigel Pulsford plays while Gavin plays the Verse riff. They're basically
notes around the E5E5 and C5C5 chords and shouldn't be hard to figure out.
I particularly like this song because all the cool parts are done with
a guitar instead of a violin and cello as they are on most of the songs.
