This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

transcription)

last note the 2nd and 4th times only.

(strum these chords)

-Interlude:

I'm not completely sure of what is going on here,

but this sounds fairly right to me:

C#|---- (tremolo picking) -----------------|

 G#|----------------------------------------|
 E |----7**-----5**-----13**-----8**--------| play
 B |----------------------------------------| 2 times
 F#|----5**-----3**-----11**-----6**--------|
 B |----------------------------------------|

Starting with "And I see the walls around me..."

3rd time:

C#|---- (tremolo picking) ----------------|

 G#|---------------------------------------|
 E |----7**-----5**-----10**-----12**------|
 B |---------------------------------------|
 F#|----5**-----3**------8**-----10**------|
 B |---------------------------------------|

Starting with "I see those walls surround you..."

Shouting part of interlude:

 C#|------------------------|------------------------|
 G#|------------------------|------------------------|
 E |------------------------|------------------------|
 B |--0--0--1--0---4-4-4-4--|--0--0--1--0---4-4-4-4--|
 F#|--0--0--1--0---4-4-4-4--|--0--0--1--0---4-4-4-4--|
 B |--0--0--1--0---4-4-4-4--|--0--0--1--0---4-4-4-4--|

"Cold....... cold........."

Play 2 times...
