The picking shown is just a general idea, not an exact representation of the original part.
Interpret the picking as you wish; the fingering is the important part.

If you listen to the guitar in the verses, you'll notice a change in the bass notes. That's where you switch from Riff 1 to Riff 2. For example, the first verse is: Riff 1 Don't you know we lost? Riff 1 Sunk so low, we just called it off Riff 2 How an ordinary moment gets tossed Riff 2 A more than ordinary woman's the cost All verses follow the same progression: play Riff 1 twice, then Riff 2 twice. Then, between the first two verses: D5 G/B Gm/Bb D5/A Then after the second verse: D5 G/B Believe me Gm/Bb D5/A Believe me D5 G/B Believe me Gm/Bb D5/A Believe me D5 G/B Have another look, another look around Gm/Bb D5/A Have another look around D5 G/B Have another look, another look around Gm/Bb D5/A Have another look around Chorus: D5/A Em It's come undo-o-o-one G/D D5/A Do-one D5/A Em It's come undo-o-o-one G/D D5/A Do-one Then after the first chorus comes the bridge: D5 G/B Have another look, another look around Gm/Bb D5/A Have another look around D5 G/B Have another look, another look around Gm/Bb D5/A Have another look around The interlude before the last verse is just Riff 2 twice. After the last chorus: D5 G/B Gm/Bb D5/A D5 G/B Gm/Bb D5/A Just end on that last D5/A And that's it. For the record, I'm aware that the D5/A isn't really over an A. I just refer to it as such for naming purposes; it's much quicker and easier to type "D5/A" than "D5 (2)".
