These two intro riffs eventually overlap each other, so if you are playing
 by yourself you just have to decide when you want to switch to the other
 one. Riff one is played at the start and by time it has been played two
 times the riff two starts building up in sound until it overpowers the
 first riff.

Intro (riff 1):
e ---------------------------|   
B ---------------------------|   
G ---------------------------|
D ---------------------------|   x2
A -2~~~2s4~~~4s6~~~6s7-------|
E ---------------------------|

Figure out the strum pattern on this by listening to it. In between each set
 of slides and the first chord you strum and scratch the chord to the
 beat/rhythm/song.

Intro (riff 2):
e ---------------------------|   
B ---------------------------|   
G -4---4s6---6s8---8s9-------|
D -x---xxx---xxx---xxx-------|   x2
A -2---2s4---4s6---6s7-------|
E ---------------------------|

Just use power chords so that C#m is really just C# - sounds the best. The
 only thing I'm pretty uncertain on is the G#m chord, I think it could be
 played as an Eb/D#, just fyi.

Verse 1:
                   B
And the brightest sign
             C#m
Is full of holes
             G#m                    E
Is full of pain, loss, violent criminals
               B
With a little fate
                  C#m
And the worst of lies
               G#m 
With a love so deep
           E                  B
It's warm with endless fire inside
Go right back to the line

(Intro)

              B
Every single day
              C#m
Every nine to five
           G#m
Every body works it hard
                     E
And then we finally die
                  B
And there's no remorse
                  C#m
Or the slightest sound
              G#m                                     E
We're forever cool with the way it all breaks up and down

               B
Let's start a riot! 
       C#m
Nobody's right
       G#m
Nobody's wrong
               E
Life's just a game
                            B
It's just one epic holiday
  C#m
However this
          G#m
Takes us along
         E
Take us away
It's just one epic holiday

(Intro riff 2 x2)

               B
On the Sunday rain
               C#m
Like a lonely ghost
               G#m                                     E
And the furthest point from here is right outside the door
              B
Open up your eyes
                 C#m
Take a breath at will
                  G#m                                E
And the sun is still alive even though it's hard to tell

(Chorus x2)

           B
Nobody's right
           C#m
Nobody's wrong
              (play intro riff 2 x4)
Let's start a riot! 

(Chorus) and end on B
