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:

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:

Chorus:
E D E D
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
Fill 3, played by gtr 2, while gtr. 1 plays A D
