Ok I've seen many a post of Teenagers on here, and I don't think that they're bad --
they just don't cover the entirety of the song very well. So here's what I play, in hopes
that it is a better alternative. Honestly,
this is an amalgamation of listening to it over and over and watching it done on video.

after that be bold and showy with each note!!

Once you play those guys there's a brief pre-chorus riff that I've noticed isn't on any
other tabs.
PRE-CHORUS:
GUIT. 2 (Only because 2 seems to have the treble, but it can be either)
e|---------3-p2p0------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---0h2h3-------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
CHORUS:
GUITAR ONE - repeats the verse, this time unmuted. There may be small variations in the
chords used (as in how they're muted or played), though I don't think it's noticeable,
especially with a nice guitar two part like this:
GUIT. 2

From there just repeat both guitars' choruses to end. There will be two rounds of
chorus. It'll be cool if you intensify the last one to the very end, which goes like this.
