Haven't quite figure out the part between this Chorus and the Verse yet.
Working on it.
But, after that riff it continues into this:

Verse 2:
E|----------------------||
B|----------------------||
G|----------------------||
D|-14~--13~--14~--14~---|| 2X
A|----------------------||
E|----------------------||

E|--------------------------------||
B|--------------------------------||
G|-------------9\----8------------||
D|-7\----7\----9\----9----10--9---||
A|-7\----7\----7\----6-----x--x---||
E|-5\----5\----------------8--7---||

E|----------------------------||
B|----------------------------||
G|-------------9\----8--------||
D|-7\----7\----9\----9--------||
A|-7\----7\----7\----6--------||
E|-5\----5\-------------------||

Chorus Again
Then

E|----------------||
B|----------------||
G|-----------1~---||
D|-3---------2~---|| After this it's a lot of static and effects
A|-3---------2~---|| leading into next part.
E|-1---------0~---||

E|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
G|-9---9---9---9---9---9---11---11---8---8---8---8---9---11---11---11-----||
D|---9---9---9---9---9---9----9----9---9---9---9---9---9----9----9----9---||
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------||

E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
G|-9---9---9---9---11---11---12---12---8---8---8---8---11---11---11---11---||
D|---9---9---9---9----9----9----9----9---9---9---9---9----9----9----9----9-||
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||

Then pretty much the same as above except turn them into pairs:
E|-------------------||
B|-------------------||
G|-8---9---11---12---|| You figure out order and rhythm.
D|-9---9----9----9---|| It's not very hard to do.
A|-------------------||

E|-0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0----0-0-0---0-0-0---||
   . . .   . . .   . .    . . .   . . .

Not quite sure on next riff yet.
