Start with palm muting, but ease off where you see the "^" and play
normally.  This part is repeated through the verses.


Pre-Chorus

---2-2-2-2-2-2------2-2-2-2-2-0--5-------
---3-3-3-3-3-3------3-3-3-3-3-0-5--------
---2-2-2-2-2-0------2-2-2-2-2-1----------
---0-0-0-0-0-0------0-0-0-0-0-2----------
------------------------------2----------
-----------------------------------------

This is repeated 4(?) times. On the final time, play the last part like
this:      --5/--   (Slide up all the way.)
           -5----


Chorus

                       ^ ^                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Again, use palm muting where the arrows are, but ease up by the end of the
"3-3-3-3" part. Also, play that part (indicated by "*"'s) twice at the end
of the chorus and then play this:

----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
--5---5--------5---5--------5---5--------5---5------------
--5---5--------5---5--------5---5--------5---5------------
--3---3--------3---3--------3---3--------3---3------------
----------------------------------------------------------
(Outshined...Outshined...)

Then the verse riff, pre-chorus & chorus are repeated again.


Interlude

----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
---7--5--4--4-5-4-0--5--4-4-5--7-7-5--5-7-5--7-9-7--------
---5--5--5--5-5-5-5--5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--------
----------------------------------------------------------

Play several times.
This part isn't perfect...but it's a little closer than the previous
version, I think.

After this, play the pre-chorus& chorus again...you'll figure it out.
