Note:  Piece of advice.  If you are playing an acoustic, the Second Guitar sounds 
great, but if you're using an electric go with the Primary.

               B5 (x244xx@1)       C#5 (x133xx@4)D5If (xx023x@1)I think the room is turning faster

Down if I've gone too far

(Haven't figured out this Fill/Solo) It does end on E and you hold it for 4 seconds.

Play this once:

B5 - C#5 - D5 - A5 - E
B5 - C#5 - D5 - A5 - D5 - A5

Verse 5:
               B5 (x244xx@1)           C#5 (x133xx@4)D5Well (xx023x@1)I guess I must have just been reeling
            A5 (x022xx@1)            EWhen (022100@1)I felt myself begin to fall
              B5 (x244xx@1)          C#5 (x133xx@4)name="chord_xx023x@1">D5                   A5 (x022xx@1)name="chord_xx023x@1">D5 A5I (x022xx@1)realize I'm bounding down the hallways and off the walls

Verse 6: 
              B5 (x244xx@1)        C5# D5If (xx023x@1)my bed was standing in the corner 
             A5 (x022xx@1)               EI (022100@1)could just fall into it right now
                     B5 (x244xx@1)       C#5 (x133xx@4)name="chord_xx023x@1">D5                A5 (x022xx@1)D5 (xx023x@1)name="chord_x022xx@1">A5      
And know that I'd be staring at the ceiling going round

Chorus 4: 
            B5 (x244xx@1)             C#5 (x133xx@4) D5So (xx023x@1)remember When those doors swing open

Down if I've gone too far - Tell me that it'll never be that way.

The conclusion is a little too complicated for me, and the Fill Stryder used was 
inadequate so I didn't bother.  If you come up with improvements feel free to
