just repeat those four bars until the end of the verse.  
the first line of the verses/after the bridge always starts with the 0-2-0 bar. 
that's really the only thing different. hopefully that makes sense. can't do words. :)

GUITAR 1 

D  F#m x4 


      D           F#m 
i'm a bubble in a sound wave 
  D              F#m 
a sonic push for energy 
  D                F#m 
exploding like the sun 
  D                    F# 
a flash of clean white hope 
        D              F#m 
all you scientists can hold your breath 
    D           F#m 
can i decide to show myself?  

oh oh 

D         

F#m                             D                   F#m 
(take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly 
   D  F#m                    D                     F#m 
oh my imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in  rhyme) 

       D                 F#m 
if you think like thomas edison 
      D            F#m 
could you invent a world for me 
    D                 F#m 
now all that's on the surface 
    D               F#m 
are bloody arms and oil fields 
        D               F#m 
could i turn this place upside down 
    D                  F#m 
    shake you and your fossils out 

oh oh 

D 

     F#m                            D                    F#m 
(you can't predict everything with newton like certainty why? 
  D           F#m                            D                    F#m  (E) 
i-i 'cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high 


F#m                D7 E7 A9 G#9 
and you soothe yourself  
F#m                D7 E7 A9 G#9 
with a sound you know 
F#m       D7 E7 A9 G#9 
you tune out  
F#m            D7 E7 A9 G#9 
the hypnotic drone 
F#m          D7 E7 A9 G#9  
perfect hexagon  
F#m          D7 E7 A9 G#9 
of the honeycomb 
F#m                 D7 E7 A9 G#9 
and you soothe yourself  
F#m 
with the shapes you know 

         D                F#m 
Should I come outside and run your cars 
         D                F#m 
Should I run your rockets to the stars 
      D            F#m 
Could you invent a world for me 
  D              F#m 
I need to hear a symphony 
   D              F#m 
If I'm to run the future 
       D              F#m 
You've got to let the old world go 

oh oh 

D 

F#m                             D                   F#m 
(take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly 
   D  F#m                    D                     F#m 
oh my imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in  rhyme) 



F#m                D7 E7 A9 G#9 
and you soothe yourself  
F#m                D7 E7 A9 G#9 
with a sound you know 
F#m       D7 E7 A9 G#9 
you tune out  
F#m            D7 E7 A9 G#9 
the hypnotic drone 
F#m          D7 E7 A9 G#9  
perfect hexagon  
F#m          D7 E7 A9 G#9 
of the honeycomb 
F#m                 D7 E7 A9 G#9 
and you soothe yourself  
F#m 
with the shapes you know 

     D              F#m 
Your word for me is fusion 
       D              F#m 
But is real change an illusion 
        D                   F#m 
Could I turn this place all upside down 
    D                  F#m 
And shake you and your fossils out 

   D              F#m 
If I'm to run the future 
       D              F#m 
You've got to let the old world go 
      D            F#m 
Could you invent a world for me 
  D              F#m 
I need to hear a symphony 

oh oh
