I figured out the little bridge he plays after the chorus. I'm 99% sure its right. It 
needs practice to get it down perfectly (and the right effects).
I give the first half credit to dr.doctor who figured out everything before the little 
I just pasted it into my tab to make it fuller.

Here's the youtube video I refer to later on. Watch this about a billion times and you 
figure it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpiGsMkQd2c

Verse 1:
No fame, all there is, all there was on the second lady
Can't take a cent, take a cut of that kind of ran
I'll stand kind of pushed, kind of bent, on that heavy land
I'll stand for the sake of my friends. I will see him there

Verse 2:
The same, not begin, not give up, in a better way
Again, wash the stain off his bed not to split them off
I'll stand for the sake of my friends, I will see him there
Well I will see him there

Just repeat chorus I and II and changing bits here and there for the second time.
It�s easy to figure out because it�s the same chords like the Em chord plays in between 
break and then the whole thing starts over again.

The end!
