Haven't quite figure out the part between this Chorus and the Verse yet.
Working on it.
But, after that riff it continues into this:

Verse 2:
E|----------------------||
B|----------------------||
G|----------------------||
D|-14~--13~--14~--14~---|| 2X
A|----------------------||
E|----------------------||

E|--------------------------------||
B|--------------------------------||
G|-------------9\----8------------||
D|-7\----7\----9\----9----10--9---||
A|-7\----7\----7\----6-----x--x---||
E|-5\----5\----------------8--7---||

E|----------------------------||
B|----------------------------||
G|-------------9\----8----8---||
D|-7\----7\----9\----9----x---||
A|-7\----7\----7\----6----6---||
E|-5\----5\-------------------||

Chorus Again
Then

E|----------------||
B|----------------||
G|-----------1~---||
D|-3---------2~---|| After this it's a lot of static and effects
A|-3---------2~---|| leading into next part.
E|-1---------0~---||

E|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
G|-9---9---9---9---9---9---11---11---8---8---8---8---9---11---11---11-----||
D|---9---9---9---9---9---9----9----9---9---9---9---9---9----9----9----9---||
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------||

E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
G|-9---9---9---9---11---11---12---12---8---8---8---8---11---11---11---11---||
D|---9---9---9---9----9----9----9----9---9---9---9---9----9----9----9----9-||
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||

Then pretty much the same as above except turn them into pairs:
E|-------------------||
B|-------------------||
G|-8---9---11---12---|| You figure out order and rhythm.
D|-9---9----9----9---|| It's not very hard to do.
A|-------------------||
E|-------------------||

E|----------------------------------------------||
B|----------------------------------------------||
G|----------------------------------------------||
D|-2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2----2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2---||

   . . .   . . .   . .    . . .   . . .   . .

E|----------------------------------------------||
B|----------------------------------------------||
G|----------------------------------------------||
D|-2-2-2---2-2-2----------2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2---||
A|-2-2-2---2-2-2----------2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2---||
E|-0-0-0---0-0-0----------0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0---||
   . . .   . . .          . . .   . . .   . .

E|----------------------------------------------||
B|----------------------------------------------||
G|------------------------8-8-8---8-8-8---8-8---||
D|-2-2-2---2-2-2----------9-9-9---9-9-9---9-9---||
A|-2-2-2---2-2-2----------6-6-6---6-6-6---6-6---||
E|-0-0-0---0-0-0--------------------------------||
   . . .   . . .          . . .   . . .   . .

E|----------------------------------------||
B|----------------------------------------||
G|----------------------------------------||
D|-2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2----2-2-2---2-2-2---||
A|-2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2----2-2-2---2-2-2---||
E|-0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0----0-0-0---0-0-0---||
   . . .   . . .   . .    . . .   . . .

Not quite sure on next riff yet.

Back to Chorus Riff Again

End song on:
E|--------------------------||
B|-------------------[12]---||
G|-------------------[12]---||
D|-3-3-3----3-3-3-----------||
A|-3-3-3----3-3-3-----------||
E|-1-1-1----1-1-1-----------||
   . .      . .

Enjoy for now!
