There is a riff played along with 
the "E/B" chord in the intro and 
verses
that I can't, for the life of me, 
play so it sounds EXACTLY like the
record, but below is an attempt that
 sounds close. The tab below is 
played
in ALL the verses in the song, as 
well as during the "E/B" chord in 
the
chorus. Here goes:

b=bend (3b4 means bend the string at
 the 3rd fret to make the note that
the string would make if it was 
played at the 4th fret without 
bending.)

Verse 1

[NOTE: all "B"'s below played with 
"main riff"]
B2                          E/B
  I live my life in the city

 And there's no easy way out
C#m                  A

Pre|-chorus

---------- 

  G#m                  E
I live my life for the stars that 
shine
    B
People say it's just a waste of time
G#m                     E
Then they said I should feed my head
    B
That to me was just a day in bed
     G#m             E
I'll take my car and drive real far
   B
Not concerned about the way we are
    A
In my mind my dreams are real
F#
Now you're concerned about the way I
 feel

   B (w/main riff)                  
            [NOTE: I have no idea 
what
Tonight!                            
            that "?" chord is, or if
                                    
            it's correct!]

[SOLO over chords  B     C#m  A   B]

[VERSE 1 repeat]
[Pre|-chorus repeat]
[Chorus repeat]

Here, song goes to an "A", then 
starts alternating between "F#" and 
"E",
then Liam starts singing "It's just 
rock and roll" and the alternation
between "F# and "E" starts getting 
faster, and that's the end of the 
song.

The R'n'R Star solo
(Played over B,B,C#,A|- The verse 
chords)! Also a little tip to make 
it sound
better is to thrown in an E barre 
chord during the B in the solo as 
well as
the verse parts, like this:

e|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---
B|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---
G|---8---8---8---7---8---8---8---
D|---9---9---9---7---9---9---9---
A|---9---9---9---7---9---9---9---
E|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---

e|7-------------------                         
B|7---9---9---9---9---                         
G|8---9---9---9---9---                         
D|9---9---9---9---9---  or something like this 
A|9---7---7---7---7---                         
E|7-------------------
