This is repeated (softly) until about : G-----------------------------------| D-----------------------------------| A-----------------------------------| D--0-0-5-0h3-3h2--0-0-5-0h3-3-2-----| Here is the fast part! Comes in at : G---------------------------------------------| D-2h3h5-----------------2h3h5-----------------| A------0h2h3-3-x-x-----------0h2h3-3-x-x------| D-------------------3-0-------------------3-0-| That is the main riff of the song. There are, however, variations: At : Before the band goes silent: G----------------------| G-------------------------| D-3h2h0----------------| D-------------------------| A------0h2h3-3-x-x-----| A-3-3-x-x-x-3-x-3-x-x-3-3-| D------------------3-0-| D-------------------------| After the instruments go silent for a bit, you can just repeat the original riff, only still more softly until the fadeout: G-----------------------------------| D-----------------------------------| A-----------------------------------| D--0-0-5-0h3-3h2--0-0-5-0h3-3-2-----| *Just as a side note, I'm aware that Colin plays this song a bit differently live. When Thom starts to sing "I used to think that..." he begins a tiny improvisation on the D-string: G-----------------------------------| D-----------------------------------| A-----------------------------------| D-0--12-0-10-0-10-10-12-10-0--------| You can play it like that with as many variations as you deem necessary. That's basically it! A little dexterity, and you've got this song covered.
