Crazy good song. I'll do my best to accurately transcribe it here..
The song is in the key of E
Opening Lick:
e|-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0---0-0------|
B|-0-0-0-0-0--7-7-7--0-0-0-0---0-0------|
G|-8-9-9-9-9--9-9-9--8-8-8-8h9-9-9------| This repeats multiple times
D|-9-9-9-9-9--9-9-9--9-9-9-9---9-9------| throughout the song with varying
A|-9-7-7-7-7--7-7-7--9-9-9-7---7-7------| strum patterns, but the notes are
E|-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0---0-0------| the same.
This continues through the opening lines

(2nd verse mostly drums + above riff)
You've got something on your mind - But you get in your way
Don't sell out tomorrow, You better not change today
(Original guitar part enters in again)
All we have is who we are - And all we know is pretending
You gotta think of something real - Say, the life we're spending
REPEAT CHORUS
So if you've got a torch to carry
Hold it high!
Take the world with me
Let it burn, let it burn, let it light up the sky
