Intro:
Guitar 1 plays this four times,
|--------------------|
|--------------0--0--|
|--------------9--9--|
|--2--2--------9--9--|
|--2--2--------7--7--|
|--0--0--0--0--0--0--|


On the last repeat, guitar 2 enters with:
|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|
|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|
|--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--|
|--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|

Then both guitars go to an F#m and then an A chord:
|--2--2--2--2--|--5--5--5--5--|
|--2--2--2--2--|--5--5--5--5--|
|--2--2--2--2--|--6--6--6--6--| guitar 1 replaces the F# on the 1st
|--4--4--4--4--|--7--7--7--7--| string with an A (xx4225)
|--------------|--0--0--0--0--|

Then back to the E:

E E
Get away from me F#m
just get away from me this isn't gonna be easy
A
but I don't need you
E
believe me
you got a piece of me
but it's just a little piece of me
but I don't need anyone
and these days I feel like I'm fading away
F#m A E
like sometimes when I hear myself on the radio

Guitar 1 plays fill 1 here:

D Asus4 D E A (sus4)
I was out on the radio starting to change
somewhere out in America
it's starting to rain
could you tell me the things you remember about me
Bm A E
and have you seen me lately?

I remember me
and all the little things
that make up a memory
like she said she loved to watch me sleep
like she said, * (w/ fill 2)
"it's the breathing in and out and in and..."
