Here's my rough attempt at a tab. A good amount of it seems right to me. But it definitely won't be perfect. This is Jonny's electric guitar part only. Sorry it's so long, I wanted to try to get everything.

Chorus

For this part listen to the song to get the picking. 

repeat 3x

Then this riff

----------8-------------8--------------
--8h10--------8h10-------10--8----

Verse 2

These are the chords Jonny plays but you can follow Chris's rhythm since it's basically the same.



--x----x----x----
--x----x----x----
--5----x----x----
--5----5----5----    3 times
--3----2----5----

After the second time through that progression Jonny adds this chord. You'll get this if you listen to the recording.

---x------
---x------

---3------

Then after the third time this progression comes up again.

--x----x----x-----
--x----x----x-----
--x----0----x-----
--3----2----5-----  2 times
--3----3----5-----
--1----3----3-----


Go back through the chorus after that.

Chorus

Then this riff

---------8-------------8--------------

---------------------------------------

Only this time they add this progression on to the end of the chorus.

I know this entire version the way chris plays it except for one chord which is "you don't *have* to be alone" part. It sounded a little bit off but appears to be the correct chord.

Other than that i know it all : P , too lazy to post. But the original acoustic version from Japan acoustic session is largely the same here, but with one weird minor chord he changed.
