verse 2 
------------- 
Live, guitar 2 now plays what guitar 1 played in the first verse. Guitar 1 
plays something new: 
e|----------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------12~----------| 
G|----------------------------------------------------12~---| 
D|----------------------------------------------------------| 
A|--------------15--14---14--12---12--14-10-----------------| 
E|-12--14--15-----------------------------------------------| 

e|----------------------------------------------| 
B|--------------------------------12~-----------| 
G|---------------------------------------12~----| x3 
D|----------------------------------------------| 
A|-15--14---14--12---12--14-10------------------| 
E|----------------------------------------------| 

------------- 
Bridge (Hey Jo, sorry I hurt you...) 
------------- 

Guitar 1: 
     Hey Jo sorry I hurt you, but     they say love is a virtue don't they? 
e|-8--------7----------------------10----------8-----------------------------| 
B|-8--------8----------------------10----------8-----------------------------| 
G|-9--------9----------------------11----------9-----------------------------| 
D|-10-------9----------------------12----------10----------------------------| 
A|-10-------7----------------------12----------10----------------------------| 
E|-8-------------------------------10----------8-----------------------------| 

Guitar 2 still plays verse 2. 

------------- 
Chorus 2 
------------- 
Guitar 1 plays some slide guitar: 
e|------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-7///9----10~-I think this 10th fret is only added live---------| 
A|------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Guitar 2 plays this again: 
e|------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-8--8--8---8---0-0-0--0--1-1-1--1--1--1---1--1--1---1--1--1---1---| 
G|-x--x--x---x---0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0--0---0--0--0---0--0--0---0---| 
D|-9--9--9---9---2-2-2--2--2-2-2--2--2--2---2--2--2---2--2--2---2---| 
A|-10-10-10--10--2-2-2--2--3-3-3--3--3--3---3--3--3---3--3--3---3---| 
E|-10-10-10--10--0-0-0--0--3-3-3--3--3--3---3--3--3---3--3--3---3---| 

------------- 
Outro (I see you rushing now, ...) 
------------- 

Guitar 1 was a bit hard to follow for me, I guess this: 
      'I see you rushing now, tell me how to reach you'   End song with: 
e|-------------------------------------------------------|-------| 
B|-12----15---------13-----------13--------13------------|--13~--| 
G|-12----12---------12-----12--------12--------12--------|--12~--| 
D|-12----14------14-----14----14--------14--------14-----|--14~--| 
A|-------------------------------------------------------|-------| 
E|-------------------------------------------------------|-------| 

Guitar 2 (It's strummed multiple times, but tabbed it this way to match it 
          with the lyric) 
      'I see you rushing now, tell me how to reach you' 
e|-------7-----------------------------------------------|-------| 
B|-12----8-------1---------------------------------------|--1~---| 
G|-12----9-------0---------------------------------------|--0~---| 
D|-12----9-------2---------------------------------------|--2~---| 
A|---------------3---------------------------------------|--3~---| 
E|---------------3---------------------------------------|--3~---|
