Then 2nd guitar comes in with this very "meaty" sounding riff (noodles)(guitar 1
carries on with the previous riff)

[Chorus]

both guitars play the intro/chorus. when Dexter stops singing, guitar two
breaks off and plays the "meaty" riff twice through.

2nd half of the second verse (bridge):

e|------8-----
B|----6------4
G|--5------5--

A|------------
E|------------

-6------6-----

      D|--8--|
      A|--8--|
      E|--6--|

(this note is 
  near the end

palm muted 
 on guitar 1)

This is the whole song- the rest of the song carries on with all these parts
(remember the first part of the chorus is played the same on both guitars-
the "meaty" riff only comes in during the 2nd run through- when he stops singing
and starts doing that little moan thing.)



Now for the bass:
Tuning: E A D G (standard tuning)

Im not a bassist so theres probably stacks of room for improvement here, but I
thought this could get you started. I'll add an order of how it is played to try
and make more sense of it:
intro 2x
verse 3x
chorus 4x
verse 4x
chorus 4x
verse and bridge
chorus 2x
verse 2x
chorus and ending


Lyrics:
 
[Verse]

Maybe in another life
I could meet you there
Pulled away before your time
I cant deal, its so unfair


[Chorus]

And it feels
And it feels like
Heavens so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that youve gone away


[Verse]

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and hail Marys
Can't bring back what's taken from me


[Bridge]

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would


[Chorus]

And it feels
And it feels like
Heavens so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
