This is an amzing song. its quite hard to play but you get used to it. this is how matt and michael play it live and on the video so i'm prety much 100% sure this is correct. incase you didn't know matt is the singer and is guitar 1 (left speaker/channel) and michael is lead, guitar 2 (right speaker/channel)
enjoy.
