I was fed up with seeing tabs of this song on bass where you
 started off at the A# (1st fret) on the a string and you 
slide all the way down to the 17th fret. It just didn�t make 
any sense. Most of this tab is actually copied off the guitar 
part of this song and basically follows the rhythm of the guitar. 
I play in a band where we cover this song so I transcribed a 
lot of the synth tracks onto bass and I use some strumming during
 the pre-chorus. I can guarantee you 100% that Matt Wachter does
 NOT play this exactly how I do but this is how I play it so

Tuning: Standard

Intro: 0:00 - 0:31 (not played on bass but is some keyboard
 thing I believe, listen for timing and changes in notes) 0:00 - 0:31
G|-14--12--11--9--------|
D|----------------------| x 10
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|

Riff 1: 00:31 � 00:56
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------| x 8
A|---9\55555\444\55-----------------|
E|----------------------------------|

The 1st Verse is the intro repeated: 00:56 � 01:21
G|-14--12--11--9--------|
D|----------------------| x 8
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|

For the pre-chorus I just do up and down strumming on the D 
and G on their respective notes and I don�t play the A and E 
strings. Consistent 8th notes if you will. In essence I follow
 the guitar to this part of the song which looks very similar
 to how i see the guitar is played in guitar tabs for this song
 that I�ve seen. Switch �chords� when you hear the guitar change
 chords in the background:
Pre-Chorus: 01:21 � 01:45
G|----11----9----11----12--------------|
D|----9-----7----9-----10--------------| x 2
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|

Notes for the chorus everytime it sounds like Tom kinda 
forces a vocal note out. Listen to �CARRY you, HIGHER� for instance
Chorus: 01:45 � 02:10
G|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------| x 4
A|-555555555555555555555555------------------------|
E|---------------------------555555555--333333-----|
   Let me feel you         , Carry You, Higher
   Watch your words spread , Hope Like, Fire
   Secret Crowds rise      , Up and   , Gather
   Hear your voices        , Sing back, Louder

Riff 1 repeated immediately after chorus 1 02:10 � 02:23
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------| x 4
A|---9/55555-444-55-----------------|
E|----------------------------------|

Verse 2: Same as verse 1: 02:23 � 02:34
G|-14--12--11--9--------|
D|----------------------| x 4
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|

 I don�t know why. But AVA decided here to have a pre 
pre-chorus to the pre-chorus. It doesn�t make much sense
 and all you really do is just strum up and down on the bottom 
two strings
 Pre Pre-chorus 02:35 � 02:47
G|--11---|
D|--9----|
A|-------|
E|-------|

Pre-Chorus repeated: 02:47 � 03:12
G|----11----9----11----12--------------|
D|----9-----7----9-----10--------------| x 2
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|

Chorus 2: 03:12 � 03:37
G|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------| x 4 
A|-555555555555555555555555------------------------|
E|---------------------------555555555--333333-----|
   Let me feel you         , Carry You, Higher
   Watch your words spread , Hope Like, Fire
   Secret Crowds rise      , Up and   , Gather
   Hear your voices        , Sing back, Louder

The Chorus is repeated throughtout the rest of the song 
but there is a part where only the drums are playing so 
just clap to follow along with the beat. Just listen and 
you�ll know when to clap. 

Thanks everybody! Peace,
Roy
