the following is how actually plays the intro/ verse riff. It's based on the E minor scale, starting on the 7th of the A string. The chord names show the implied tonality of the progression.

For the chorus, rhythm guitar strums Em G D Am using the standard open chords that we
know so well. The electric does a high funk riff that I haven't worked out the voicing for.
The Bridge goes: C Am C Am C Am C D D#

Pre-chorus “And I will turn off, and I will shut-down…” can be played two ways.
You can play the verse riff once and then:

Or you can play the chords.
Em

G

D
Burying the voices of my

Conscience hitting ground
Em

Secondary Bridge is almost the same as the Pre-Chorus, except the verse riff changes a bit.
You play this riff once:
|------------------|------------------|------------------|--------3---------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------1-----0-----|
|----2-4---2-4---2-|--0-0-2-4-0-2-4-0-|----2-4---2-4---2-|--2-4---------2-0-|
|--2-----2-----2---|------------------|--4-----4-----4---|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
And then this once
|------------------|------------------|------------------|--------3-|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------1---|
|----2-4---2-4---2-|--0-0-2-4-0-2-4-0-|----2-4---2-4---2-|--2-4-----|
|--2-----2-----2---|------------------|--4-----4-----4---|----------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|----------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|----------|
Or you can play the chords, which are the same as the pre-chorus.
The final chord of the song is Em.
