Tab by Travis Lausch
There's a tab already on UG, but the entire key of that tab is off,
as is much of the melody, so I am sitting down with this song and
actually listening to the key it's in. There's actually quite a bit
more to the guitar than there seems in the song, and I transcribed
some parts that may or may not be guitar. I'm arranging it in standard
tuning. It may be in another tuning, but standard allows the harmonics
I hear in the pre-chorus.
Intro/Verse
Not sure exactly what effect is used here, but it sounds like whammy pedal.

There's a synth part in the second chorus which can be approximated on guitar by doing this:
|---------------------------/17------||------------------------------------||------------------/14---------------||----------/7------------------------||------------------------------------||--/5--------------------------------|Each note lasts one measure.
The bridge/outro goes like this:

After the break with the speech:
