Break 2 is the piano solo that leads into a really simple section, just E chords and A chords,
and then comes the guitar solo.


Guitar Solo as near as I can tell

So the order of the parts would be:
Riff 1 x3
Fill 1 x1
Riff 1 x8
Fill 2 X1
Riff 1 x3
Fill 1 x1
Riff 1 x8
Fill 2 x1
Slam that E chord
Fill 3 x1
Riff 1 x3
Fill 1 x1
Riff 1 x8
Slam that E chord
Piano Solo
E and A chords
Guitar Solo

And that's the song as near as I can tell.  This is my first tab, so use this expecting some 
missed hammers, pulls, bends, etc.  It's a great song, and I thought it deserved a tab, even
an inaccurate one.
