The guitar has a slight delay effect on it in the song.
Basically all of the song is played on PALM MUTE.
I'll post the lyrics with chords above it first,
and tabs for the different parts at the bottom.
During the interlude post-chorus, the Gm chord goes for 1 extra beat
before switching to the F/A chord.
