that bend on the 3rd string at the end is supposed to be just noisy and dissonant,
I don't think it's reaching for a specific note

for this part, I only figured out the lead guitar from watching videos of them playing the song live
because I didn't wanna bother figuring out the power chord progression heh

The final breakdown
There's a switch-up on the pattern on the last time they play it,
but for the first three times, just think of the panic chords like this:
1 2 1 2 1 1 3 1 2
So: You play it once, then twice, then once, then twice, then once, then once,
then thrice, then once, then twice, with the chugs in between
