This is the way I've always played it, I can't vouch for it being 100% correct:

Intro
Em                         C
Must be time for a second chance
E                            F
I can't escape this basement flat
F#m7
Got writers cramp and claustrophobia...

Verse
Am                         F
Must be time for a second chance
?                            Bb
I can't escape this basement flat
F#m7
Got writers cramp and claustrophobia...

Chorus (and chorus outro)
E       Bm    E             A     Bm
What can I do?
E       F#m        Abm  A     Bm
There must be some solution. 

The solo is pretty straight forward. I worked out that climactic two guitar part to the solo at one point but I don't have it TABed.

The whole song, the whole album, is a master class in intertwining inspired guitar parts. That and how to use discordance and dissonance to maximum effect. The guitar parts Moginie and Rotsey have come up with on this album are incredible. Such an underrated (and one of my favourite) guitar albums. And don't start me on those sublime guitar tones!

Hope this helps.
