b
g 11 11 11 11 9 9 9 9
a 11 11 11 11 x 11 x 11 x 9 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 9 9 9

D 11 11
A

repeat at the end of the second time some instrumen (sounds like some bells or a keyboard or i have no idea) does something like this this:

Riff 2

e
B 14 12
G 13 11 13 11 9 4 6
D
A
E

The singing starts already in this "riff" at the "9" I think.

Verse: Both Guitars: Main Riff

Prechrous:

Guitar 1: Main Riff I

Guitar 2: plays some single notes that are difficult to hear, but it's something within

Scale that is also used for the main riff II)

Chorus: Same chords as verse, but i think a slightly different rhytm. Hear it out!

Preverse:

Guitar 1: Main Riff I

Guitar 2: Main riff II + Riff 2

Verse

Preverse

Chorus (x2)

Bridge:

No REAL guitar used at the beginning, but you COULD play the chords that are used all time silently (each chord one time): C# F# Well I won't be around for the good times E B Won't be around for the bad C# F# And I won't stick around in this town E B No I'm getting out instead!

Now of course the main riff II is played with a little difference:

e
B 14 14 14 1
G 11 13 13 11 11 11/13
D 11
A
E
It doesn't end here like before but is played on like below:
e
b 11 11/13 11 11/13
G 11 14 11 11 14 9
D
A
E

This whole Riff (Main Riff II*) is played 2 times above

YEAH! YEAH! YEEEAH! And I won't And I can't And I'll leave cause I can! And I WON'T BE BACK A-GAIN! above these final words you just play the G# chord 5 times.
D 6 6 6 6 6
A 6 6 6 6 6
E 4 4 4 4 4

Chorus

After the chorus there are mainly the riff 2 and slightly different options of the Main

I played. That would be about it.
