Intro/Verse 

There are some strange chord inversions going on here I think but this sounds somewhere  
approaching right 

E||-----------------------------------------------------------|| 
B||-----------------------------------------------------------|| 
G||12~~~~~~9~~~~~~~12~~~~~~9~~~7~~~5~~~~~~5~~~~~~2~~~~~~~~~~~~|| 
D||10~~~~~~10~~~~~~10~~~~~~10~~7~~~5~~~~~~7~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~|| 
A||10~~~~~~7~~~~~~~10~~~~~~7~~~5~~~3~~~~~~7~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~|| 
E||-----------------------------------------------------------|| 



Chorus/Quiet Breakdown 

Just some straight forward barre chords for the chorus it sounds like 
very low in the mix 

E||-----------------------------------|| 
B||-----------------10~~~~~~~---------|| 
G||5~~~~~~~9~~~~~~~~10~~~~~~~9~~~~4~~~||   The end just uses the Am chord 
D||7~~~~~~~10~~~~~~~10~~~~~~~10~~~5~~~||   from the start of the chorus 
A||7~~~~~~~10~~~~~~~8~~~~~~~~10~~~5~~~||   a few times 
E||5~~~~~~~8~~~~~~~~---------8~~~~3~~~|| 


There is a third guitar dubbed over the chorus using an ebow by the sounds of it. As  
near as I can tell this is it. 

E||-------------------------------------------------------------------|| 
B||10~~~~~~~13~~~~~~~6~~~~~~~5~~~3~~~13~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~6~~~~~~~5~~~~~~~|| 
G||-------------------------------------------------------------------|| 
D||-------------------------------------------------------------------|| 
A||-------------------------------------------------------------------|| 
E||-------------------------------------------------------------------||
