(Cory's riff/solo is mainly improvised when played live so it changes show to show.  
However use the same scale and solo throughout rest of the song
*Rex continues power chords throughout song)

   Cadd9                   G          Cadd9

         G  Cadd9
Into a smile 
         G  Cadd9
Into a smile 
         G  Cadd9
