After that play the Opening,
Then the Verse, and again the Chorus

end the second chorus with one more F# powerchord and let it ring out completely (2:06)

"I miss you so bad, ..."

	     B	          E        B         E        B       E

(on the last E powerchord lift up your palm slowly, to increase the volume, and play the 
very last strum completely open. Mute it afterwards !!

"Going out of my head..."

I like to slide down my left hand right into the G# powerchord, at this point:

	(strumming pattern: D D DUD | U UD DUDU )
E 	| ------------------------------------------------------|
B 	| ------------------------------------------------------|
G	| ------------------------------------------------------|
D 	| ---6----------4---------------------------------------|
A 	| ---6-5x-------4-7x------------------------------------|
E 	| ---4----------2---------------------------------------|

	       G#	        F#

Then into the Chorus (played 3x)
After that play again the Opening = Ending (let the last chord ring out)

Lead guitar: (standard tuning)
Opening:

E	|---------------------------------------------11------------|
B	|----12----12-11----11-12-----12--14------14--------14------|
G	|-------11-------11--------11----------11--------11----11---|  4x
D	|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A	|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E	|-----------------------------------------------------------|


When the rhythm hits the G# powerchord in the Verse, the lead guitar does something like this:

E 	| ----7-7-7-7---9-9-9-9-----              --7-7-7-7-7-----|
B 	| -----7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7---- <- played 3x ---7-7-7-7------|
G	| --------------------------------------------------------|
D 	| --------------------------------------------------------|
A 	| --------------------------------------------------------|
E 	| --------------------------------------------------------|

"heart, heart,..."

E    |---------------------------------------------11----------------|
B    |----12----12-11----11-12-----12--14------14--------14----------|
G    |-------11-------11--------11----------11--------11----11-------|  4x
D    |---------------------------------------------------------------|
A    |---------------------------------------------------------------|
E    |---------------------------------------------------------------|

It's not exactly played 4 times, there's a pause at the end and then it starts again for 
another time. Check my cover to make sure!

Then into the Verse part again,

"heart, heart,..."

E    |---------------------------------------------11----------------|
B    |----12----12-11----11-12-----12--14------14--------14----------|
G    |-------11-------11--------11----------11--------11----11-------|  4x
D    |---------------------------------------------------------------|
A    |---------------------------------------------------------------|
E    |---------------------------------------------------------------|

This time it's played exactly 4 times !

At the very end play that riff again 4 times !!
