Then, when he sings "Pull and pull an pull 'till it hurts", you jump back to the Pre-chorus and chorus. Then..

Then onto the Chorus, twice, and the 2nd time through, no words, but guitar 2 plays this: e|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------| B|-7-6-7----7-6-7---|-7-6-7----7-6-7----|-7-6-7---7-6-7----|-9-8-9---9-8-9-------| G|--------6-------6-|--------6--------6--|--------6--------6--|-------6-------6----o| D|-----------------|------------------|------------------|--------------------o| A|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------| E|-----------------|------------------|------------------|---------------------| reapeat this one twice, then back to the main riff ONCE, and then you're done.
