This tab is more for just a recreation of the song - kind of what Mike would play live.
Not the picking at the start and the second guitar overdub.

It's in DADF#AD Capo 4.

The awesome intro/ chorus riff. (I'm not tabbing rhythym btw.)

D--0--0--0---------------0---0--0--0--------------------------------------|
A--0--0--0---------------0---0--0--0-------------0------------------------|
F#-0--0--0-------------3-----0--0--0--------------------------------------|
D--0--0--0---5p4p0-4h5-------0--0--0---5p4p0-4h5----0---------------------|
A--4--0--0-------------------4--0--0--------------------------------------|
D--7--4--5-------------------7--4--5--------------------------------------|
There's a little fill before the verse, awkward timing -


D--0--0-------4h7p0-----------------------------------------------------------|
A--0--0---7p5-----------------------------------------------------------------|
F#-0--0-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D--0--0-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A--4--0-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D--7--4-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

The chord progression is simple the chords used are - (I'll make up names for them)

D Em G G1

D---0----0----0----0----------------------------------------------------------|
A---0----0----0----0----------------------------------------------------------|
F#--0----0----0----0----------------------------------------------------------|
D---4----0----0----4----------------------------------------------------------|
A---5----2----0----5----------------------------------------------------------|
D---0----2----5----5----------------------------------------------------------|

So it goes -

D Em
Put your faith in me my friends.

D Em
That one day I'll find a way,

D Em G1
to give all the things that you've given to me back.

Small fill

D---0--0--0-----------------------|
A---0--0--0-----------------------|
F#--0--0--0-----------------------|
D---4--0--0-----------------------|
A---5--5--5-----------------------|
D---5--4--2-----------------------|

Then return to d for the verse

D Em
Well, put your foot down my brother.

D Em
That's no way to live putting the needs of others,

D Em
ahead of yours.

G1 Em
You deserve more than nothing.

Little fill into chorus

D----------------------------|
A----------------------------|
F----------------------------|
D----0-0---------------------|
A-0h4--5---------------------|
D------5---------------------|

That's pretty much it, although Mike improvises some neat fills through the two verses like-


D Em D
D---0--------0---------0------------------------------------------------------------|
A---0-----0--0---------0------------------------------------------------------------|
F#--0--------0---------0------------------------------------------------------------|
D---4-4h5----0-----0---4------------------------------------------------------------|
A---5--------2-0h2-----5------------------------------------------------------------|
D---0--------2---------0------------------------------------------------------------|

That's pretty much the whole of it...
