Whilst the bass plays something a little bit like this:

e--1--3---5--3----
B--1--3---5--3----
G--2--4---5--5----
D--3--5---7--5----
A--3--5---7--3----
E--1--3---5-------  X2


Then Go into

G---------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------
A---5-5-7-7-8-8-10-10-12-12-------------
E---------------------------5-5-7-7-8-8-


Then the guitar cuts out leaving just bass and drums 
then guitar comes in with picking of these chords
e--12--11--10--8---10
B--13--13--12--10--12
G--14--14--13--10--12
D--------------------
A--------------------
E--------------------

I think that this might be the actual picking:
The breaks are where you change chord, cos I thought it might help..

B---------13-------13-------13-|------13-------13----13-|
G------14-------14-------14----|---------14-------14----|

constant picking:

D-----------------
A-----------------
E-----------------


I think thats it, anyway - Enjoy!


Oh, and here are the lyrics


I think I'm drowning,
asphxyated.
I wanna break the spell, 
that you created.
you're something beautiful,
a contraditcion.
I wanna play the game,
I want the friction.
You 
will be
the death
of me
you
will be
the death
of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
but our time is

running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
but I'm restricted
I try to give you up
but I'm addicted
now that you know I'm trapped
since ovalation
you never dream of
breaking this fixation
you
will squeeze
the life
out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
but our time is

running out
and our time is runing out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop is screaming out
how did it come to this?

o-o-o yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
o-o-o yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
o-o-o yeah yeah 'yeah yeah yeah'(screamed)

you
will suck
the life
out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
but our time is

running out
and our time is runing out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop is screaming out
how did it come to this?

o-o-o yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
o-o-o yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
o-o-o yeah yeah 'yeah yeah yeah'(screamed)
