Verse:
For the verse, you can either have Guitar B play open chords, and then play
riff #2a, which is pretty easy if you're playing open chords, and have guitar A
play backing power chords. Or, you can have both A & B play power chords, and
have B play riff #2b. (You can almost make this sound right w/ just one guitar
if you play the open chords and the 1st version of the riff.)
riff #2a: riff #2b:

Then, play the intro bit, starting w/ intro riff#1.
Then, the verse again:
Verse:
Give me a piece of what you've got
I'll make it new with much less thought
It's symbolic and full of trash
Lofty endearments whispered under your breath
Five lessons remembered from yesterday
Easing my mind and seizing each new day
Beyond and back and I'm still the same
Kicked over some old trash but I still waste
End w/.....
e5 D5 e5
yeah I still waste
e5 D5 e5
I still waste
And so on....
Have fun.
