These intro chords form the basis of the verse too, except you don't use the scalic bit in the verse
Play around with different positionings, you can keep everything between the 6th and 11th frets if you like,
but for my playing style I found the above most comfortable (you can also alter the scale, but then you have
to jump from the 11th fret - see what works for you!)
[Verse]
G#m G#m F# D#m
E|-4-4---4-4------|-4-4---4-4-------|-6-6---6-6-------|-11-11---11-11------|
B|-4-4---4-4------|-4-4---4-4-------|-7-7---7-7-------|-11-11---11-11------|
G|-4-4---4-4------|-4-4---4-4-------|-6-6---6-6-------|-11-11---11-11------|
D|----------------|-----------------|-----------------|--------------------|

Use this progression throughout the verse, there are a couple minor variations on it which you can get by
listening to it (for example, first bar is skipped in the first line of the verse, last bar is skipped in the
last line)
Then comes
[Chorus]
G#m B F# C#m
E|---------| |-4-4---4-4-------|-2-2---2-2-------|-2-2---2-2-------|-4-4---4---------|
B|---------| |-4-4---4-4-------|-4-4---4-4-------|-2-2---2-2-------|-6-6---6-4-------|
G|-8-6-4-3-| |-4-4---4-4-------|-4-4---4-4-------|-3-3---3-3-------|-6-6---6---6-4-3-| Repeat to double bar lines
D|---------| |-6-6---6-6-------|-4-4---4-4-------|-4-4---4-4-------|-6-6---6---------|
A|---------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|---------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
This rhythym is approximately right, but not too important - listen to the track and most importantly have fun!

[Bridge]
This is a bit hard to describe, here's the riff which the bass plays except a few octaves up
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------4--4--4--4-7-------2/4-------|
G|------------3-4--4--4--4-6--------------6--6------6-4-3-|
D|-6--6--6--6------------^--------------------------------|
A|-----------------------^--------------------------------|
E|-----------------------^--------------------------------|
here^
So the bass plays this one and a half times, after which the guitar joins in at the place I've denoted "here"
[Outro]
Same as chorus
G#m B F# C#m
E|---------| |-4-4---4-4-------|-2-2---2-2-------|-2-2---2-2-------|-4-4---4---------|

G|-8-6-4-3-| |-4-4---4-4-------|-4-4---4-4-------|-3-3---3-3-------|-6-6---6---6-4-3-| Repeat to double bar lines

Except you get these little slide things which are alternate between
E|-/6-/6-----|
B|-/7-/7-----|
G|-----------|
D|-----------|
A|-----------|
E|-----------|
and
E|-/11-/11-----|
B|-/11-/11-----|
G|-------------|
D|-------------|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|
As an aside, there are lots of little things in the song played between chords and stuff. Have fun with it,
add in little licks, use the notes of the F# major scale:
E|-4-6-7-|
B|-4-6-7-|
G|-3-4-6-|
D|-3-4-6-|
A|-2-4-6-|
E|-2-4-6-|
