really hear from guitar in the chorus, where it plays the same as guitar 1,
and finally guitar 2 plays the tab during the outro.

Intro:
Bb, C, C#, D#, G#, F#

C#, Bbm repeat until singing

C#, Bbm, C#, Bbm, F#, C# repeat over till chorus

Chorus:
Bb, C, C#, D#, G#, F#

The second verse & chorus is basicaly the same, except when Chris sings
"inside a bubble" for the first time in the second verse, Jon plays this

B|-4-3-4-3-4-3-4-3-|-66666/8888-|

That faint guitar bit:

|-------------|-----------|
|-------------|-----------|
|-------------|-----------|
|3-4-5---0----|-0-2-3-----|
|------2---3--|-----------|
|-------------|-------3---|

The bit before the end is the same as the start, then its G chord, with a
D played over it with some funny effect (dont ask what it is)..

Bb 688766
C X32010
G 320003
Cm X35543

I think its mostly right, except sometimes the Cm sounds more like a Bb...
anyhow, mail me If you've a better alternative.
