This song uses mostly power chords. 
I haven't tried to note
the strumming rhythms, because 
they're pretty variable, and mostly
unimportant--just listen to the 
record--it's straight forward 
enough.
(This song is played with two 
guitars, but I've tabbed the main 
parts
for one. Some day, I'll tab out the 
other parts.)

As for the lyrics: these are the 
best I could make them out. I didn't
try to correlate the background 
vocals with the main lyrics in verse
2, just try to fit them in as you 
see fit. As usual, corrections are
welcome.

         B
so many ... decisions,

       G#                     C#
it's impossible to know which is


the proper order,

                 A
the best position to be ... in,

     B
take advantage, or so it seems
