These D's mean if you have a whammy bar on your guitar, dive
down a bit on these notes. I can't tab it any better than
that.
Then comes the part that's used many times in the song, we'll
call it RIFF 1.
RIFF 1: [play twice]
Bm* Asus2 E
E|----2------0-------------------------------------------|
B|------3------3-----2-------0---------------------------|
G|--4----(4)----(4)----4-------4-----2----1-----1-2-2/4--|
D|----------------------(4)-----(4)-----2-----2----------|

The notes in parantheses ( ) are notes that he probably doesn't play
but I usually play them anyway because I think they sound good.
The lead guitar should have some heavy reverb on it.
In the verses there are two fills that are often used:
FILL 1: FILL 2:
E|--------------| E|--------------|
B|--------------| B|--------------|
G|----2---1-----| G|----1-2-2/4---|
D|--4---2-------| D|--2-----------|
A|--------------| A|--------------|
E|--------------| E|--------------|
VERSE 1:
Bm* Asus2 E
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
Bm* Asus2 E [FILL 1]
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
Bm* Asus2 E [FILL 1]
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
Bm* Asus2 E [FILL 2]
and I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
In the first two lines of the CHORUS, you can faintly hear the
lead guitar playing something like this:
Bm Asus2 E
E|-----0-----0--------------0---------------------|
B|-------3-----3------0-------0-----0-------------|
G|---------4-----4------2----------------1-2-2/4--|
D|---4--------------2-----------------------------|

VERSE 2: [play like VERSE 1]
What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and
