RIFF 1
 - starts off before the singing then continues for the
actual verse

Before the first verse, however, you replace the last line
of the riff with this:
   O       -       +       -       O       -       +
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------
A-|--------pm------pm--------------------------------------
D-|--------0-------2------/10~~~---------------------------



Then it moves to the pre-chorus and chorus "you wont do
what you want to Lay back...."  for this play the Intro
on distorted guitar... I think

Then a bunch of stuff repeats and this is where my memory
wont serve me correctly as to the order but here's the bits
and pieces for the rest of the song:


"Take it all, take it on higher 4 degrees down"

   +       -       O       -       +       -       O
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------
A-|2~------------------------------------------------------
D-|2~------------------------------------------------------


   -       +       -       O       -       +       -
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------
A-|(2)-----------------------------------------------------
D-|(2)-----------------------------------------------------


   O       -       +       -       O       -       +
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------
A-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|----------------9-----------------------12--------------


   -       O       -       +       -       O       -
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------
A-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------11------------------------------7---------------

that repeats then he says "give in now give in now"
and adam plays this:

   +       -       O       -       +       -       O
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------
A-|5~~-----------------------------------------------------
D-|5~~-----------------------------------------------------

which holds for a four count then is played again for
another four count

we move on to :
"Let me!!!!!!!!!!!.........in"
(This is also the same part for "Knock me down I'll just
come back around and then knock you down it wont be long")

   +       -       O       -       +       -       O
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------
A-|2-----------------------2-----------------------2-------

   -       +       -       O       -       +       -

G-|--------------------------------------------------------

   -       O       -       +       -       O       -

   +       -       O       -       +       -       O
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------h-----------------------------------------------
A-|2-------3-----------------------------------------------
D-|2-------3-----------------------------------------------
that repeats once

next is
"You'll like this"
   +       -       O       -       +       -       O
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|--------------------------------------------------------
G-|--------------------------------------------------------
D-|--------------------------------------------------------
A-|2-----------------------2-----------------------2-------
D-|2-----------------------2-----------------------2-------


   -       +       -       O       -       +       -
E-|--------------------------------------------------------
B-|---------------/15------15------15------15------15------

D-|---------------/12------12------12------12------12------


   O       -       +       -       O       -       +

B-|15------15----------------------------------------------
G-|14------14----------------------------------------------
D-|12------12----------------------------------------------
A-|12------12----------------------------------------------
D-|12------12----------------------------------------------


Then for the part where he's saying "Take it cmon just take
it" I think you play RIFF 1.... same thing for when he's
humming

Last but not least is the solo which is pretty quick and
simple but cool sounding nonetheless:
