I'm fairly sure of Glen's part (guitar 1), but guitar 2 is driving me crazy... I'm not
sure of the tuning, I'm not sure even if he's playing with a slide or not... I can't tell...
Intro: Guitar 1 plays this twice

Guitar 2 enters at the point marked with an asterisk, with delay,
heavy reverb, and volume swells.
Throughout the song, except for the choruses, it sounds like guitar 2
is also played with a slide.

Verse: Guitar 1 plays the intro riff twice, Guitar 2 plays somewhat the same thing it
in the intro, with slight variation
Emadd9
so suddenly
G/B G/C
where was my mind
G/A G/D
what was I thinking of
I lost control
you could have died
I could have killed you
Chorus: Guitar 1 is tacet here, guitar 2 plays tabbed part
(all chords are implied by guitar 2, bass)

but when we recovered (when we recovered)
Cadd9 G
I only thought of you
Em
and when you saw my hands
you shuddered
G
I realized
Cadd9
how much I cared for you

I slip sometimes
I can be cruel
I can say stupid things

pardoned
and pride follows behind me
Chorus: (same as first)
but when we recovered
I only thought of you
and light remaining after thunder
I realized
how much I cared for you
