 A few times.
 
 Then we have the "I'm emotionally raped by Jesus" bit, which is
 A F#m A F#m D E F#m 
        
 then, a pause. Then, the "What now of my faith..." bit, which is

 also, a few times.
 
 Then, the cher-chung! bit, which is the bottom two or three strings of a B chord (024442),
 with this picked over it:

 e|-------------------5-6-7--|

 E|--------------------------|
 

 
 With various mutations of that played as well. Then, a piano break:

 B|-------------------------------------------------------|

 continuously.
 After one time through, the guitars are back (yay) for another solo:

 E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 

 
 Then it's
 
 A                 
 I need replacement
 Dm               
 To feel redefined
          F                   Dm      
 And it's just this matter of identity
 A                 
 You preach elastic
 Dm                  
 To your jagged flock
         F                 Dm           
 It's an eerie passion for self-flattery

 e|-----5-------------2-----------------5-------------2-|
 B|---5-------------2-----------------5-------------2---|
 G|-----------------------------------------------------|
 D|-7-------------4-----------------7-------------4-----|
 A|-----------------------------------------------------|
 E|-----------------------------------------------------|
 

 Emotionally I'm wrapped in shame, Emotionally I feel I'm raped
 Oh, emotionally in chains.
 
 then there's a fuzzy version of the earlier riff, that goes something like this...
