'Apart' by Cure - Guitar Tutorial

            Main riff: (with flanger and slow echo)
[E-------------------------------
[B-------------------------------] (let ring for another measure)
G-----------2---0h2-------------
D-------------------------------
A-------0-----------------------
E---5---------------------------]
Repeat this constantly (i.e., every other measure)
Synth line adapted for guitar:
One measure each of a swell on the following chords:
Am[--221-]
G [--000-]
Dm[--323-]
Am (same)
then this riff
[B----5---5---5---6---------5---------3-------5--------3------
B-------------3------5---------------------------------------
G----5--------------------------------5----------------------]
At the end of the first verse play the following fill (mixed low)
Dm[---312] (four measures)
(strum pattern is easy enough to figure out; precision isn't important here anyway. Vary it a bit by not sounding all three notes; also, in the fourth measure play a slide up to the 5th fret of the high E string)
Repeat, but play this for fourth measure:
[E (high)------3/5---5-----5-----5]
In second verse, play this fill at the line "He waits to hear her..."
(let ring throughout)
[E----------0---------------------------3------------
B----3--------3------3-----------3--------3-----3---
G-2-----2---------2-----2----0------0--------0----0-]
Then repeat first measure twice. Repeat.
Play this fill underneath chorus (you do not play the main riff here)
(Second measure of fill above), then:
(let ring throughout)
[E-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-0----------0---------0-------0--------
B-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------0----------------0------
G----------------------------------2---------5-------4------------]
(Repeat last measure of above)
(Repeat the whole thing)

Then third verse as before into chorus and end.
Chords:
   Am           G         Dm         Am
he waits for her to understand, but she won't understand at all
she waits all night for him to call, but he won't call anymore
he waits to hear her say: forgive
but she just drops her pearl-black eyes
and prays to hear him say 'i love you'
but he tells no more lies
he waits for her to sympathize, but she won't sympathize at all
she waits all night to feel his kiss but always wakes alone
he waits to hear her say: forget
but she just hangs her head in pain
and prays to hear him say 'no more'
i'll never leave again
 G      Dm       Am
how did we get this far apart?
       Am        G
we used to be so close together
how did we get this far apart?
i thought this love would last forever
he waits for her to understand but she won't understand at all
she waits all night for him to call, but he won't call
he waits to hear her say: forgive
but she just drops her pearl-black eyes
and prays to hear him say 'i love you'
but he tells no more lies
how did we get this far apart?
we used to be so close together
how did we get this far apart?
i thought this love would last forever
