INTRO
~~~~~
This way is how you can play the intro, almost a big part of the song
is this way too, with a little variations of how many times you play
the chords, you may able to play almost the entire song with this part.

VERSE
~~~~~
Just repeat the intro 'till you get the pre-chorus


PRE-CHORUS
~~~~~~~~~~
This are the chords used in this part.
If you figure out it's just one finger out between A and Asus2
It's just how many times and the way you play them.

     Em/C    A    Asus2
e||-------|------------||
B||--5----|--2----0----||
G||--4----|--2----2----||
D||--5----|--2----2----||
A||--3----|--0----0----||
E||-------|------------||


Em/C              A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 A Em/C   A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2
   It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague Haunting mass appeal

Em/C      A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 A  Em/C            A
   Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel


Repeat this through the Chorus (Thanks Mike Mahon)

e||--12--12--12--12--|

I made a minor change in the inversion of the E minor
used in the verse based on the video that came out
recently.  I always thought the open position E minor
sounded funny, and seeing Mike play his Em at the 7th
fret verified my suspicion.


***********************************************************************

Some minor corrections to the chords above.
The Intro/Verse/Chorus needs a little tweaking.  I will list here the 4
required chords for the Intro/Verse/Chorus.  From the tab above, you can
figure out the progression.
