(note: play chorus twice the 2nd and 3rd times you go through, so you can
fit in the
"Hello Timebomb, I'm Ready to go off.." part.)
Verse 2 (riff 1 again)

Guitar plays this first time after chorus, then for the verse its just bass
again
e|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------|
B|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-----|

E|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------|
During verse 2, one guitar plays this palm muted, over and over again, until
Matt
sings "Push and push and push 'till it hurts, then it plays that oh so
famous main riff for the rest of the verse, while guitar 2 throws in
some nifty slide sounds.
Then, when he sings "Pull and pull an pull 'till it hurts", you jump back to
the Pre-chorus and chorus. Then..
Bridge
e|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------|
B|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------|
G|--7-7------------|------------------|-----7-7-------------|------5-5-5---------5-o|
D|--7-7---8---7---3|----5-5-5-------5-|--7-7---8---7---3-|----5-5-5---------5-o|
A|--5-5---8---7---3|----5-5-5-------5-|--5-5---8---7---3-|----3-3-3---------3--|
E|---------6---5---1|----3-3-3-------3-|---------6---5---1-|----3-3-3---------3--|
repeat three times, amongst guitar 2's feedback and phaser noises, then back
to the riff 1 again with guitar once, then just bass.
Verse 3 (played overtop of riff 1, same notes as lyrics)
e|-----------------|------------------|
B|-----8---8--6--8-|-/10--------------|
G|-----------------|------------------|
D|-----------------|------------------|
A|-----------------|------------------|
E|-----------------|------------------|
play three times, then join with bass in playing 2nd half of riff 1
then continues to play with bass, as one guitar does this dissonant little
riff:
e|-----------------|-------------------|
B|--6---6---6---6--|--6---6---6---6----|
G|----9---9---9---9|----9---9---9---9-o|
D|-----------------|------------------o|
A|-----------------|-------------------|
E|-----------------|-------------------|
And when Matt sings "Solid Gold" the 2nd time, change it to
e|-----------------|-------------------|
B|----8---8---8---8--|--8---8---8---8----|
G|----9---9---9---9|----9---9---9---9--|
D|-----------------|-------------------|
A|-----------------|-------------------|
E|-----------------|-------------------|
Do this while playing the prechorus.
Then onto the Chorus, twice, and the 2nd time through, no words, but guitar
2 plays this:
e|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------|
B|-7-6-7----7-6-7---|-7-6-7----7-6-7----|-7-6-7---7-6-7----|-9-8-9---9-8-9-------|
G|--------6-------6-|--------6--------6--|--------6--------6--|-------6-------6----o|
D|-----------------|------------------|------------------|--------------------o|
A|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------|
E|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------|
reapeat this one twice, then back to the main riff ONCE, and then you're done.
