That's basically the verse, they both play those parts and then the part right before
"it isn't right" part is just guitar 1 playing this distorted while guitar two keeps up
lead part:

technically, guitar 1 continues doing the main lead part clean, but that's your choice.
it repeats that 2 times, but before the second prechorus guitar 2 cuts out and it's just
bass, lead and vocals.
the pirate story part is the verse again, but the distorted part changes and there's no prechorus
distorted - both guitars
