Here's my effort at this, such as it is.
There's a lot of cool stuff going on here, the two
guitarists (Damon Mitchell and Jeff Hondubura) trading
licks;I've only hit the basics - please help me out with
corrections/additions!

Intro/rhythm 1:(T) means use thumb on 6th string;let the open E (1st)
string ring

    Badd11                     A

seems to fade in and out;slightly distorted and palm muted)

As happy as you once were
It seems to have passed (fill 2)

Yourself (fill 3)

Your pristine image
Burns into my mind
Like embers in a dying fire
The after-image I find

(E -rhythm 2)

Let's take the opportunity
To mull this over
Take it from the start
Where detergency is lacking
I'm reeling in my heart
(begin riff 1 again)
And if it seems that I am sketchy
I'm dwelling in the past
I'm holding all alliance
Under looking glass

Somehow ways
I'm letting time pass
And all my old friends
Seem to slip through
The cracks
Repeat bridge; then
C#m7 - Badd11 - E x2; C#m7 - Badd11 - E - A
F#m7 - Badd11 - then to rhythm 1, holding the D an extra 2(?) beats;
then repeat chorus, outro with rhythm 2 & riff 1....
