After the chorus, go back to the beginning. Play the intro, verse and chorus
again the same way. After the 2nd chorus play the following:

						play 4 times				
e|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------*|
D|---3--3--3--X--X--5-6-6-5-6-6--1--1---X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X--*|

D|---3--3--3--X--X--5-6-6-5-6-6--1--1---X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X---|
					     "Yes I do"

e|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------|
D|---3--------1--------3--------1-----------|
A|---3--------1--------3--------1-----------|
D|---3--------1--------3--------1-----------|

Interlude: 
						    play 2 times
e|-----------------------------------|-------------------------|

G|----------6--5---------------------|------------6--5---------|
D|---6--5---------6v----8-----8------|----/6--5-----------6----|
A|-------------------------6-----6---|-------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|-------------------------|

On the second time, play muted strings and increase the distortion during
the last measure. 
And here's where things start to get really fast...

Heavy Interlude:
					play 2 times
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|---3--3--3--X--X--5-6-6-5-6-6--1--1--X-X---8-8-9-9---|
A|---3--3--3--X--X--5-6-6-5-6-6--1--1--X-X---8-8-9-9---|
D|---3--3--3--X--X--5-6-6-5-6-6--1--1--X-X---8-8-9-9---|

Then (really ***ing fast here):
		play 4 times
e|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
D|--3---1---6---1---8-8-8---|
A|--3---1---6---1---8-8-8---|
D|--3---1---6---1---8-8-8---|
