Verse: 
For the verse, you can either have Guitar B play open chords, and then play 
riff #2a, which is pretty easy if you're playing open chords, and have guitar A 
play backing power chords. Or, you can have both A & B play power chords, and 
have B play riff #2b. (You can almost make this sound right w/ just one guitar 
if you play the open chords and the 1st version of the riff.) 

riff #2a: riff #2b: 
e:-0-------------- e:---------------- 
B:---3-0---------- B:---------------- 
G:-------2b3-0---- G:-9-7------------ 
D:-------------2-- or D:-----9-7b8------ 
A:---------------- A:-----------10-7- 
E:---------------- E:---------------- 

(here, E is a low E chord, e is a high E) 

G5 A5 E5 riff #2 
Five lovely lessons learned today 
G5 A5 e5 
Coating my throat with the dust of a new day 
G5 A5 E5 riff #2 
As the saints pray their lonely way 
G5 A5 e5 D5 e5 e5 D5 e5 
And their deadweight lays the passion to waste 

G5 A5 E5 riff #2 
Maybe if I sew my heart on my sleeve 
G5 A5 e5 
They'll drop the bomb on me and I'll wake up 
G5 A5 E5 
I can only fix so much in my sleep 
G5 A5 e5 D5 e5 e5 D5 e5 
I can only drink so much from this empty cup 


Chorus: 
B5 B5 C5 D5 
I know I must not think bad thoughts 
B5 B5 C5 D5 
I'm always beaten to the punch 
B5 B5 C5 D5 
I'm holding aces high and low 
B5 B5 C5 D5 e5 D5 e5 e5 D5 e5 
And in between I'm trying to break my fall 


Then, play the intro bit, starting w/ intro riff#1. 
Then, the verse again: 

Verse: 
Give me a piece of what you've got 
I'll make it new with much less thought 
It's symbolic and full of trash 
Lofty endearments whispered under your breath 

Five lessons remembered from yesterday 
Easing my mind and seizing each new day 
Beyond and back and I'm still the same 
Kicked over some old trash but I still waste 

End w/..... 

e5 D5 e5 
yeah I still waste 
e5 D5 e5 
I still waste 

And so on.... 
Have fun.
