Great song!!! One of my favorite songs off my new favorite album. It's a great 
album full of great songs! You should get it! Pretty easy song. I saw them play
this on Saturday Night Live, so I know that the picking in the chorus is played 
up higher, instead of out of the intro chords. And the chords guitar 2 plays for
the verses, are from the album, but on SNL, he just played the normal chords:
Em, Am, D, G, but the album he uses power chords. Okay, have fun!!
