Chorus X2,(it’s easy enough to work out the cut off point if you know the song, or 
to it.)

I don’t know the guitar for the instrumental bit played into fade, but just play the 
over and over again, it fits.

This is my first tab, but awsome song, awsome band and awsome writer

Hope it’s good enough for you.
