D||--0---------0-------|--2---------0-------|
A||--2-----------------|--3-----------------|
E||--3-----------------|--0-----------------| Repeat 4x.
Then simply repeat the VERSE bit again.
Then the CHORUS again!
Then this (the third verse, that differs from the other two):
E||-------------------------|
B||-------------------------|
G||-------------------------|
D||-------------------------|
A||-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
E||-------------------------| Do this 8 times once again but then...

G||-5-----5---5-7-----7---7-|
D||-5-----5---5-7-----7---7-|
A||-3-----3---3-5-----5---5-|
E||-------------------------|
Back to the CHORUS again.
After that, there's nothing for the "we own eachother bit". When Johnny sings "Tonight
LA" just softly strum the first three power chords of the verse four times. Now here's
it gets interesting... Play this after you've softly strummed the chords and when Johnny
up the dynamics again.
E|-2-----2-----2-----2-----|-0-----0-----3-----3-----|
B|---3-----3-----3-----3---|---3-----3-----3-----3---|
G|-----2-----2-----2-----2-|-----2-----2-----2-----2-|

E|-------------------------|-------------------------| really quickly.
E|-2-----2-----2-----2-----|-7-----7-----5-----5-----|
B|---3-----3-----3-----3---|---5-----5-----3-----3---|
G|-----2-----2-----2-----2-|-----4-----4-----2-----2-|
D|-------------------------|-------------------------|
A|-------------------------|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|-------------------------|
Then do it again, but play the two bars just above on the second repeat and simply strum
D chord on the last repeat out of the four.

version 3
*** Capo 2nd fret ***
(everything relative to this)
(You could easily enough ditch the capo and play barre chords with the chords shifted up
tones i.e Em becomes F#m, C becomes D etc; which I imagine is how the band play it. I
wanted to show you my take on the tune)
