First of all, I'd like to say that this is all 100% correct thanks to wactching them play live on David 
Letterman and Jay Leno as well as the music video. 
Enjoy. all questions comments requests go here: powertown77@yahoo.com. Thanks.

quick key on symbols:
/ - slide
( ) - palm muted or barely heard
h - hammer on
p - pull off
~ - let this note ring
b - full bend

Okay here's lead for the intro (you can play it however you want, but this is 100% so):


eb|--(2)-(0)---2/4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----4/2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---0h2-2-2-2-2-2-2/4-4--0-0-0-0-0-0-2-0-0------|
Bb|--(0)-(0)---0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------|
Gb|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
(whole thing x2)

For the verses, the lead really doesn't do anything, but you can throw in an extra:

eb|--------------------|              eb|------(0)-(0)--------|
Bb|--------------------|              Bb|---------------------|
Gb|------11------------|              Gb|---------------------|
Db|-------9------------|              Db|---------------------|
Ab|-------7------------|              Ab|---------------------|
Eb|--------------------|   or         Eb|---------------------|

i know you are looking at that and going "okay.." but that's really all the lead does. i like to just 
arpeggiate the verse chords to make it look like i'm doing something.

Chorus, easy and sounds good. you'll have to turn it up pretty loud when you listen to it to get the rhythm, 
but it's not too bad.

eb|-----7p0------0------7p0-------9---------7-----------|
Bb|--0--------0------0---------0--------0---------------|
Gb|-----------------------------------------------------|
Db|-----------------------------------------------------|
Ab|-----------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-----------------------------------------------------| do this first little riff a total of four times in a row

eb|-----7p0-------0------7p0-------11---------7--------------|
Bb|--0---------0------0---------0--------0-------------------|
Gb|----------------------------------------------------------|
Db|----------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|----------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|----------------------------------------------------------|  do this one once

eb|-----7p0------0------2p0--------0--------------------|
Bb|--0--------0------0---------0------------------------|
Gb|-----------------------------------------------------|
Db|-----------------------------------------------------|
Ab|-----------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-----------------------------------------------------|

and finally the bridge
(This first riff is actually played right before chris says "so turn up the corners of your lips.."

eb|---7p0------------0------7p0-------11-------12--------|
Bb|----------0---------0---------0--------0--------------|
Gb|------------------------------------------------------|
Db|------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|------------------------------------------------------|  play this once

eb|---0-------------0-------2-------0-----------|
Bb|------------0--------------------------------|
Gb|---------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------|
Eb|---------------------------------------------|  play this once

eb|----0-------------0-------2-------4-----------|
Bb|------------0---------------------------------|
Gb|----------------------------------------------|
Db|----------------------------------------------|
Ab|----------------------------------------------|
Eb|----------------------------------------------| play this once

eb|---7h0----------11--------12~------------|
Bb|------------0--------0-------------------|
Gb|-----------------------------------------|
Db|-----------------------------------------|
Ab|-----------------------------------------|
Eb|-----------------------------------------|

when he starts saying "let me slip away.."  then just use the intro riff and the last note of the intro riff
will replace the first note of the chorus riff. if that makes no sense, then let me know. 



Background chords go as follows:

Intro: E5 (022400), C#m (046600), B5 (024400), A5 (002400) [all of that x2]

Bridge ("let me slip away.."): E5, C#m, B5, A5 (002400) [x2]

end with the verse chords

This is an orginal solo I wrote for this song, specially requested by nicorama888@msn.com, so here it finally is:

     (A5)      E5                     C#m                       B5                       
eb|-------------------------------------------------------------9----------------------------|
Bb|------9-9-9------------------9-9-9------------------12-12-12-----9-----------9------------|
Gb|--9-9-------11-9-11/13-----9-------11-9-11/13-----9------------9---11---9h11---11-9-------|
Db|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

     A5                               E5~
eb|-----------------------------------0~-------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|---------------------------9-7~----0~-------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|------9~-------9---11b---9---------9~-------------------------------------------------------|
Db|--11~-----11~----------------------9~-------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|-----------------------------------7~-------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-----------------------------------0~-------------------------------------------------------|

I put the bg chords above the solo so Guitar 2 can fill in. I have pictured this solo being played either during the "let me slip away", before it, or instead of it. my band and i will record a demo of it and post it on purevolume.com as soon as we can. please enjoy and rate!!! it's all official and 100% (well except the solo of course)
