xOkay I'm only covering Guitar Two (Rhythm Guitar, played by Martin) cause I
only do Guitar Two in the songs I play. I will include the small riff
played by Paul (Guitar One, Lead) though. You can find the video where they
performed at Sprint Live Music lounge at

-Performance Notes-

Rythem Guitarist:
-Performance Notes-
I was a too lazy to do the strumming pattern, but it's relatively easy to
play. Just listen to the video stated above. Played at Mesoforte (mF)
Intro:
D (2 bars) Asus 2 (2 bars) Bm (2 bars)
Gsus (strum once) Bm (strum once) Asus2 (complete the last bar)
Lead Guitarist:
Verse:
-Performance Notes-
I didn't take the effort to tab Lead Guitarist after this, but it should be
played Palm Muted with similar notes to the Intro.
Rythem Guitarist:
-Performance Notes-
From here on, just listen to the strumming pattern and catch on.
Everything is palm muted until the second-half of the verse.

(during the like 1.5 seconds between here and the Bridge,
the D chord is strummed for 2 notes or so...
I think...)
Bridge:
Note- This part is played by Paul for Rythem.
I'm not entirely sure it's what they played at
Sprint Live Music Lounge, but it sounds accurate... at least...
Bm
And when the clock strikes twleve
Asus2
Will you find another boy to go and kiss and tell
Bm Asus2 Gsus2
Cause you know, I never will.
Bm
I think we should strike a match
