I'm fairly sure of Glen's part (guitar 1), but guitar 2 is driving me crazy... I'm not 
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

i lost control

i could have killed you

Chorus: Guitar 1 is tacet here, guitar 2 plays tabbed part
(all chords are implied by guitar 2, bass)

and when you saw my hands
you shuddered

Verse: (both guitars play the same as the first verse)

i slip sometimes
i can be cruel
i can say stupid things
but after crimes
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

Bridge:
Guitar 1 plays chords, guitar 2 plays the tab here:
