The key is drop D flat (or drop C sharp depending on your outlook), but I've transposed
her for drop D to make it a little simpler to follow. If you tune to drop D, then take
every string down half a step, you should have it.

Repeat the chorus/intro. Then that prelude to the 2nd verse is those first in the verse.
The second half of the verse 2 - ("I see the faces turn in my direction and I feel so
un...." is as follows...
e /---------------------------------- ---------------------------|
b /---------------------------------- ---------------------------|

Then repeat the bridge and the second bridge, then you softly strum the chorus for "You
don't have to tell me, I know already..."
Then the base comes in. You follow with this

Then the chorus. The final segment - "Say fall and I'll fall..." is the last chord in
the chorus sequence just reall being hammered.
