For this tab, I used some live performances. Therefore, it may be that it
sounds a little different to the album version. However, I still think the
chords fit. Please comment if you have suggestions.

Guitar returns to intro, which will function as a chorus.
After that, repeat verse again.
Again, play the chorus. Then, only play the second bar of the verse.
