*I kind of made this up because I dont think there is a real lead part here as far as I can hear.
It flows nice with the chords.

"You wonder why it always ends the same..."

Verse 2 is the same.
Pre Chorus & Chorus is the same.

Bridge
Violin plays before guitars come in at 3:05 with feedback and pick scrapes.
You can play a clean or acoustic at this part:
E              A                      C#m                         B 
"you live your life like youre not in control, like you playing a roll..."

When it picks up John switches to this:
Guitar 1
eb|---000000-000000-000000000000-000000-000000-000000000000-------------------|

Gb|---111111-xxxxxx-222222222222-666666-444444-222222222222-------------------|
Db|---222222-444444-222222222222-666666-444444-222222222222-------------------|

Eb|---000000-222222-----------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 2
This is pretty much the violin part for a 2nd Guitar.
John and Eddie both play the above chords or variations of those chords (on Eddies end).
eb|------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|---16---14---13---9--11-------------------------------------|
Db|----x----x----x---x---x-------------------------------------|
Ab|---14---12---11---7---9-------------------------------------|
Eb|------------------------------------------------------------|

or you could do this... either play like I wrote out or hold the notes out.
eb|---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------------------------------|
Bb|--1212121212121010-9-0--0----------------------------------|
Gb|---------------------9-11----------------------------------|
Db|-----------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|-----------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-----------------------------------------------------------|

End on the E chord


Enjoy!
