I'm 100% sure this is correct; my bass teacher tabbed it out for me. I'll try to make it
clear as possible, it's really not that hard.

Standard Tuning, E, A, D, G

Intro:
Play this when Gerard says, "For what you did to me..." [0:08]

Verse:
Basically it's each note, [A4, A0, A2, E4] 16 times, it's the same thing like 
right after the intro.
Play this twice. [0:32]

This part is still the Pre Chorus, but the whole band plays this part together, and it's
"I'm taking back the life you stole..." [1:07]

Then you play it again once, but add A4 (C#) as an ending, so the second time you play
it looks like this. I don't really think I need to give you a time, it's obvious when to
it because it doesn't pause. But this is the second time it plays...

Bridge:
This part is played different once, and then plays the same tempo as the verse. "~"
let the note ring out (whole note), and ";" means it's a half note instead of a quarter
So the first time which starts at "I will avenge my ghost" [2:00] is like this...

After that part, the same notes are played but at half of the tempo as the verse,
each note 8 times, and you play that until the end of the song. This starts at [2:15] but the
doesn't pause, it just continues until the guitar part ends the song, but the bass 
so stop at [3:27]
