Guitar 1: Acoustic
Guitar 2: Electric
Bass

Tuning: Standard (eADGBE)
Bpm: 160

This song has a lot of complexity and tiny nuances. I highly suggest giving it a listen if you want to learn
how to play it. I've provided parts for 3 instruments, as well as a bit of info on the synth in the chorus and
bridge.
In the case of a "x2" after a bar, repeat that whole section (It's usually more than 1 bar); these repeated
sections are separated by an extra line break.

There's a third, heavily distorted guitar here that plays straight eighths power-chords)
