All parts, especially the intro and verse, require heavy distortion,
as you probably know if you have ears.

Chorus:

When Scott sings, "Couldn't find a way to live though the pain,
Couldn't find a way..." the guitar plays (2x):

--3h5--5---3-5--3-0---x-x-x-x-x-x-------------------------------


Then, back to the Verse part (4x):

"Couldn't get outta bed
Ten ton bricks layin' on my head
Persecute the crucified
Kill a man for losing his mind"


Repeat Chorus (play riff 2x through)


Repeat Intro Once


The bridge, or whatever it is, is just a really heavy section with one guitar
playing high pitched notes over distorted chords and bass. I'll just give you
the chords I would play (pwr. chords in Drop-D, all on the 3 lowest strings):

[D5] Come on [G5] out, you're comin' [F5] home
Deceive [G5] yourself, you're [F5] all [D5] alone
Come on out, you're comin' home
Deceive yourself, your secret's known


Solo:

The solo is played over the Verse riff (4x)
It doesn't exactly lend itself to being tabbed out,
so I would just improvise in the key of D with lots
of crazy bends and stuff...grunge style.


Repeat Chorus (play riff 2x through)


Repeat Intro riff once


Play the first half of the bridge (4x):

[D5] Come on [G5] out, you're comin' [F5] home
Deceive [G5] yourself, you're [F5] all [D5] alone


The song ends with:
