Props to the (ver 3) author, I used theirs as a template for this. Some tricky chords:
C#maj7 Csus4 F7 or F7 and I assume you know F...
e|-----4-----| e|-----3-----| e|-----1-----| e|-----1-----|
B|-----6-----| B|-----6-----| B|-----4-----| B|-----4-----|
G|-----5-----| G|-----3-----| G|-----2-----| G|-----2-----|
D|-----6-----| D|-----5-----| D|-----1-----| D|-----3-----|
A|-----4-----| A|-----3-----| A|-----3-----| A|-----------|
E|-----------| E|-----------| E|-----1-----| E|-----------|
Then there's this riff at the end of each vocal line in the verses:
RIFF
e|---------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------|
G|-----1--3--1--5--3--1-----1------------|
D|--3--------------------3-----3---------|
A|---------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------|
