Here's the intro as best that I can translate it into tab. This is my first tab, so
sorry if it's a little confusing!

The verses are just straight chords. I play them as three-note power chords because I
don't know any other way, but nonetheless here they are.

Chord diagramG#G#
And only time will tell, tell us nothing.

Chord diagramE MajorE
Or maybe we already know.

Chord diagramG#G#
So many days to fill, trying to feel nothing.

Chord diagramE MajorE
More than a slow ebb and flow.

[Bridge]
Chord diagramF#F#
But drag me out into the street if you hear the news coming.

Chord diagramF#F#
Now mothers and fathers teach their children.

       Chord diagramF#F#
It doesn't matter if blood's thicker than water,

     Chord diagramA augmentedA
If it's on your hands.
Riff into the Chorus/Breakdown thing goes:
Chord diagramE MajorE|---------------------|
Chord diagramBB|---------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|-------4p2-----------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|--2h4-------4-2-0-2--|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|---------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|---------------------|

Chorus/Breakdown thing:
Chord diagramE MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|---------5/7\5--5\2--2/5-5-5-5--------------------------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|-----------------------------------------2~--------4p2--------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|--2222----------------------------4444---2~---2h4-------4-2-0-2-----|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|--2222----------------------------4444---0~-------------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|--0000----------------------------2222------------------------------|


Goes back into the verse on an E.

When the chorus/breakdown goes into the slow part it does the Chord diagramA augmentedA riff into an A:
Chord diagramE MajorE|--------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|--------------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|-------4p2-----------2~---|
Chord diagramD MajorD|--2h4-------4-2-0-2--2~---|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|---------------------0~---|
Chord diagramE MajorE|--------------------------|

Followed by the Chord diagramA augmentedA riff into the slow part:
Chord diagramE MajorE|----------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|----------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|-------4p2------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|--2h4-------4-2-0-2---2~---6~--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4~-----------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|----------------------2~---6~--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4~-----------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|----------------------0~---4~--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-2~-----------------|

Not gonna tab out the whole slow part. You can get it from there and how the chords
line up with the lyrics.

There are obviously some complementing guitar parts in there, but they're just little
harmonies and fills here and there. If you want to figure those out, more power to you!
