Verse: guitar 1 plays the A D progression with the same
rhythmic feel as in the intro (without the G)
 
A                 D
Gonna get back to basics
Guess I'll start it up again
I'm fallin' from the ceiling
                        *  - Gtr. 2 enters w/ wah, plays fill 1
You're falling from the sky now and then

  From this point on, throughout the verses, gtr. 2 plays this
 over the A D progression:
e|--------------|-----------|
B|--------2-----|-----3-----|
G|-----2-----2--|--------2--|
D|--------------|--0--------|
A|--0-----------|-----------|

Maybe you were shot down in pieces
Maybe I slipped in between
But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see
Just you and me
 
 Guitar 1 plays A D twice more, while guitar 2 plays this:

   So why'd you come home to this sleepless town
It's a lifetime commitment
Recovering the satellites
All anybody really wants to know is...
when you gonna come down

and she watches as her babies drift violently away
