Hey guys, play the picking pattern throug all the verses and look at the transition 
riffs to the chorus.
In the chorus strum the chords down and sing then alone (listen to the song and get it).
I actually wrote everything important down 
I think I got the picking pattern but at some parts I'm not too sure  But it sounds 
right to me.
Have fun 

These are the picking patterns, below you see the chords, change the picking when the 
chord changes.

INTRO:
Em (022000@1)VERSE:

EmI (022000@1)was gripped with a bit of fear
            Emworried (022000@1)the one thing that I loved
          Gback (320003@1)when I was just a kid
          Ammight (x02210@1)now never be enough
         Cthat (x32010@1)the body I was in
      Cmight (x32010@1)belong to someone else
        EmSomeone (022000@1)kinder, Someone surer, Someone innocent, young and beautiful
        Csomeone (x32010@1)purer, that's the one I know

Em (022000@1)name="chord_022000@1">Em

Em (022000@1)                              EmI (022000@1)was scratching at my skin hopin changes would begin
         G (2nd guitar strums down 1x)
but what laid beneath was blood
        Am(2nd guitar strum 1x)  C (x32010@1)       (2nd guitar strum)
well of course what the hell was I thinking of
                              C (x32010@1)                       (2nd guitar)
won't you take me down to the creek wash away our sins of sleep
At sins of do this riff and strum with Em down at sleep (listen to the song to get it right)
Riff 1:
E------------|
B------------|
G------------|
D----------3-|
A------------|
E---0---3----|

EmI (022000@1)feel so tired as though I might
                             Cnot (x32010@1)wake at all on the other side.... that's no way to go



2nd Guitar (or if you do an acoustic version I think it would be fine if you stop
picking the chords and play the riff instead)
Riff 2:
E--------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------------|
D-----------2----0-------------2---0---------------|
A---------------------------------------2---0---2--|
E?0---3---------------0----3-----------------------|

CHORUS (listen to the song to get the strumming (I think the most of the time it's down
strumming. Instead of the Chords you can use power chords as well, whatever you like better.)

G (Strum until you start singing, then let the chord fade out and strum again when the 
singing stops)
Oh my dear one
bathe me in your glow

Dcut (xx0232@1)out my lonely heart
and bury it in the snow

Fnothing (133211@1)really means nothing
is the saddest thing I know

Cso (x32010@1)deliver me from sin
and give me rock and roll

Sing Oh Oh here x4 (Strum the whole time)
G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
Give me RocknRoll
F (133211@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C

The same picking like in the beginning. Strum down with the second guitar at the ends of 
the sentences

EmAnd (022000@1)in the morning there'll be hope
and in the morning there'll be light
               Gand (320003@1)if I sleep and dream up a system
Ama (x02210@1)solution
Cto (x32010@1)fend off perils of the night
Emcome (022000@1)on in, I'll be born again
                         Gborn (320003@1)again as someone else
EmSomeone (022000@1)kinder
Someone surer
Someone beautiful

Csomeone (x32010@1)purer

Play Riff 2 two times with those lyrics:
and when I am you'll know
and when I am you'll know

Strum the Chords again
GOh (320003@1)might one
the devil knows my name
Dwill (xx0232@1)salvation come
and wash away my pain?
Ffor (133211@1)I was once a kid
with a pure and innocent soul
Cso (x32010@1)deliver me from sin
and give me rock and roll

Sing Oh Oh here x4
G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
F (133211@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C

Give me rock and roll
Give me rock and roll
a pure and innocent soul
and a pure and innocent soul

Give me rock and roll
Give me rock and roll
and a pure and innocent soul
and a pure and innocent soul

let the last chord fade out
