Verse: guitar 1 plays the A D progression with the same 
rhythmic feel as in the intro (without the G) 
 
A                 D 
Gonna get back to basics 
Guess I'll start it up again 
I'm fallin' from the ceiling 
                        * From this point on, throughout the verses, gtr. 2 plays this 
over the A D progression: 
|--------------|-----------| 
|--------2-----|-----3-----| 
|-----2-----2--|--------2--| 
|--------------|--0--------| 
|--0-----------|-----------| 
|--------------|-----------| 
 
Maybe you were shot down in pieces 
Maybe I slipped in between 
But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see 
Just you and me 
 
Guitar 1 plays A D twice more, while guitar 2 plays this:

Chorus: 
E                    D    E                 D 
   So why'd you come home to this sleepless town 
It's a lifetime commitment 
Recovering the satellites 
All anybody really wants to know is... 
when you gonna come down 
 
Fill 3, played by gtr 2, while gtr. 1 plays A D

Your mother recognizes all your desperate displays 
and she watches as her babies drift violently away
