TUNING: EADGBe (standard)
Strumming not shown, I didn't tab every strum, but you should get the idea. Just listen
to the song.
Also, this was painful to tab, guitars aren't really in separate speakers, some notes
are very hard to hear, etc., so expect mistakes or notes missing. The tab looks harder
than it actually is though. Also, lots of annotations, because I'm not certain about
some things.
TUNING: EADGBe (standard)
Intro/Verse
Guitar 1 (the empty low E string might be played along with the E chord, not sure about that)

Bridge 1 ("no pauses, ...)
Alright, this part was pretty hard to tab, I even watched some live videos of them
playing it. On those videos, I saw that something was played before the 5-3-0 2-0 thing, but
I have no idea what it might be, I can't hear it on the record. Also, this is actually
played on the G and D string, but without the part before it, it doesn't really matter
where you play it...

Chorus 2 (it's the same except for the end)

G|--9--7--5-------------4--5--2--5--7----|
D|--9--7--5---7-9-\-5---4--5--2--5--7----|

A|--7--5--3---7-9-\-5---2--3---7-7-5-5---|
E|------------5-7-\-3--------------------|
Also, during the chorus (and at the end) one guitar plays those notes, they weren't that
easy to hear, but in live audio they are much clearer.

Bridge 2 ("church steps, a vision")
Everything here is both guitars, except the part where I mention guitar 1 and 2.

G|---0-----------------|
D|--------0-0-9-9\5----|

(This time, one, probably clean guitar just slightly picks the notes, the other one just
plays it as before in a more "strummed" way)

Intro/Outro reprise
Mind the strumming, it's a lot like the "all these secrets I keep" part.
Guitar 1 (left speaker)

E|---0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-------------------------------------------------|
Guitar 2 (right speaker) is the same, except for the E chord
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------14-14--14-14-14--14-14-14-------------|
D|---2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2----9--7---14-14--14-14-14--14-14-14----9--7-----|

E|---0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-------------------------------------------------|
End on the E chord of your chosen guitar. Guitar 1 does the strumming noise at the end though.
