I included the lyrics so that it would be easy to denote which riff to play and the Guitar 2 Fills. Not everything in the song follows this tab EXACTLY, so improvise a little and listen to the song for the very minor parts.

Intro: (Riff 1. 2X w/ Fill 1. and Fill 2. the 2nd time)
Verse 1: (Riff 1.) When I was young I knew everything And she a punk who rarely ever took advice Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no
Pre-Chorus: (Riff 2.) I can't be held responsible, 'cause she was touching her face I won't be held responsible, she fell in love in the first place
Chorus: (Riff 3.) For the life of me I can not remember What made us think that we were wise, and we'd never compromise For the life of me I can not believe We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen (Fill 1. and Fill 2.)
Verse 2: (Riff 1.) My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her His girl took a week's worth of Valium and slept And now he's guilt-stricken sobbing with his head on the floor Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says
Pre-Chorus (Riff 2. w/ Fill 3. 4X)
Chorus (Riff 3. w/ Fill 3. 4X at the end)
Verse 3: (Riff 3.) We've tried to wash our hands of all of this We never talk of our lacking relationships And how we're guilt-stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say
Pre-chorus (Riff 2. w/ Fill 3. 4X)
Chorus (2X - Riff 3.)
Outro (Riff 1. 2X w/ Fill 1. and 2. played 2X)
