Then 2nd guitar comes in with this very "meaty" sounding riff (noodles)(guitar 1
carries on with the previous riff)

[Chorus]
both guitars play the intro/chorus. when Dexter stops singing, guitar two
breaks off and plays the "meaty" riff twice through.
2nd half of the second verse (bridge):
e|------8------6------6-------4-3--------| e|-----| B|----6------4------4----6---3----4/6----| B|-----| G|--5------5------3--------3-------------| x2 G|-----| D|---------------------------------------| D|--8--| A|---------------------------------------| A|--8--|(this note is palm muted E|---------------------------------------| E|--6--| near the end on guitar 1)
This is the whole song- the rest of the song carries on with all these parts
(remember the first part of the chorus is played the same on both guitars-
the "meaty" riff only comes in during the 2nd run through- when he stops singing
and starts doing that little moan thing.)
Now for the bass:
Tuning: E A D G (standard tuning)

Im not a bassist so theres probably stacks of room for improvement here, but I
thought this could get you started. I'll add an order of how it is played to try
and make more sense of it:
intro 2x
verse 3x

Lyrics:
[Verse]
Maybe in another life
I could meet you there
Pulled away before your time
I cant deal, its so unfair
[Chorus]
And it feels
And it feels like
Heavens so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that youve gone away
[Verse]
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and hail Marys
Can't bring back what's taken from me
[Bridge]
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
[Chorus]
And it feels
And it feels like
Heavens so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
