try this.  it's not the real way, but it sounds a lot better than the 
real way:

INTRO:
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 repeats
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 4 times

-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 is a studio
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 effect, but  
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------------------- if you don't 
                                                         have a studio
                                                         then fake it.

"form...
"near...                    ...chasin' you home...saying


chorus:  your guess is as good as mine.  I just play:

--0----0---0---0---          --0---
--0----0---0---0---          --0---
--9----8---7---8---    or    --8---  there's no basis on the album
--9----8---7---8---          --9---  for this, it's just fun 
--7----6---5---6---          --9---  sometimes...
-------------------          --7---
every- is      broken       ...broken...


then second verse (I'll transcribe the second guitar when I have time), 
second chorus, and intro again for "why can't you forget..."



lyrics: 

you can force it but it will not come
you can taste it but it will not form
you can crush it but it's always here
you can crush it but it's always near
chasing you home
saying

everything is broken
everyone is broken

you can force it but it will stay stung
you can crush it as dry as a bone
you can walk it home straight from school
you can kiss it you can break all the rules
o but still

everything is broken
everyone is broken
everything is...
everyone is broken
everything is...
everything is broken

why can't you forget it all
why can't you forget it all

(and so forth.  it's not as if you can't just pick up the CD cover and 
read them for yourself.)

Is it that wrong?  respond and offer different playing suggestions 
please.  ricky lee at [email protected]
