  p.m………………………… ……… ………

                       heard you’re fooling around…

There’s a little fill when it drops to the C chord which starts on a C (A|-3) which could be:

D|----5-4----|
A|-3------3--|   < in any case this riff reappears at the end


At this point it drops back into the distorted verse riff (is this where the rain falls…) and runs through 
four times (there’s a nice fill on the third run through which I’m sure I would get wrong if I tabbed it out 
but it’s just a run up, standard emo fare) and goes back into the chorus riff at ‘feel I’ve touched your 
cells for too long…’

After this point (at the ‘oh’s and ‘ah’s) the two guitars break off and it sounds as though one is playing 
a heavy version of the verse riff whereas the other is playing a modified version of the chorus riff that 
misses out the second note and runs E-E-D-C.

It then goes back into the chorus riff. Guitar one is playing the standard one above and guitar two is 
playing the following:

e|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9—--------------------------------|
D|-x-x-x-x-x-x—x-x-x-x-x-x-x-5-4---5-4---5-4---5-4---5-4-----|
A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7—----3-----3-----3-----3------3--|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
X3

And the final time (not 100% on this but it sounds ok)
e|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9—-------5------------------------|
D|-x-x-x-x-x-x—x-x-x-x-x-x-x---4—5---------------------------|
A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7—--------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|

And back into a distorted verse for ‘is this where the rain falls’, ending on an E.


Please excuse the incompleteness of this tab. I‘ll be able to work out some of the fills at a later date and
 add them in and find something better than that dud-sound F# chord in the chorus riff.
