This is a rough one!!!  I figured it out two ways and then mixed them.
If you're in a band, have the guitarist play E then G through the Verses
and just follow the same chorus.


     Verses         (Use fill Sometimes)      Fill
||---------------|---------------------||--|----------------------------
||*--------------|--7--5--------------*||--|----------------------------
||*--5--7--------|--------5--7--------*||--|--2--1--0-------------------
||---------0--3--|--------------0--3---||--|-----------3--0--0--0--3----


           Pre Chorus

                                   Chorus

Guitar in E-flat tuning.


Verse:
      |----------4-2----------4-2----|
      |--2-4-4--------2-2------------|
      |------------------------------|
      |--------5----------2-5-----5--|

Chorus:
      |--4-6-7-11-9----------------4-2----4-6-7-11-9-----4-2--|
      |-------------2-4-4--2-4-2-4-------------------2-2------|
      |-------------------------------------------------------|
      |---------------------------------5-----------------5---|

Note:
1) There are quite a lot of variations of the verse I mentioned, but
   the basic verse is there (The variations normally take the form
   of missing notes out or playing them twice)

2) The verse is normally played about 8 times before the chorus.
