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

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||-------------------------------------------------------------------||
