Verse: guitar 1 plays the A D progression with the same
rhythmic feel as in the intro (without the G)

A                 D
Gonna get back to basics
Guess I'll start it up again
I'm fallin' from the ceiling
                        * <- Gtr. 2 enters w/ wah, plays fill 1
You're falling from the sky now and then

|--9--\----|
|--10-\----|
|-------\--| Fill 1 (guitar 2 plays this where marked by the *)

>From this point on, throughout the verses, gtr. 2 plays this
over the A D progression:
|--------------|-----------|
|--------2-----|-----3-----|
|-----2-----2--|--------2--|
|--------------|--0--------|
|--0-----------|-----------|
|--------------|-----------|

Maybe you were shot down in pieces
Maybe I slipped in between
But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see
Just you and me

Guitar 1 plays A D twice more, while guitar 2 plays this:

Chorus:
E                    D    E                 D
   So why'd you come home to this sleepless town
It's a lifetime commitment
Recovering the satellites
All anybody really wants to know is...
when you gonna come down

Your mother recognizes all your desperate displays
and she watches as her babies drift violently away
