Basically, this is a very simple Smiths song (off of -Louder Than Bombs-) but highly effective.  What I will mean by the F# riff is just: 

   F# riff 

E ---------------------- 
B ---------------------- 
G ----------------------  (this is just the F# note being repeated over 
D ----------------------   and over again, of course) 
A ---------------------- 
E -2-2-2--2-2--2-2--2-2- 

Intro:  Feedback, F# riff 

F# riff 
Smoke lingers ~round your fingers 
Train, heave on-to Euston 
       B5                    E5                       F# riff 
Do you think you~ve made the right decision this time? 
  B5      E5       F# riff 
Aaahhh, aaahh, aaahhh... 

F# riff 
Left your tired family grieving 
And you think they~re said because you~re leaving 
                       B5                          E5                 F# riff 
But didn~t you see the Jealousy in the eyes of the ones you left behind 
           B5                    E5                       F# riff 
And do you think you~ve made the right decision this time? 

F# riff 
You left your girlfriend on the platform 
With this really ragged notion that you~ll return 
         B5                  E5 
But she knows that when he goes 
            F# riff 
He really goes 
           B5                    E5                       F# riff 
And do you think you~ve made the right decision this time? 

The ending riff goes something like this (with minor variations): 

   F#m       D5  E5    C#m       D5  E5 

E ---5---------------|---9---------------|| 
B ------7------------|------9------------|| 
G -6------6--7-7-9-9-|-9------9--7-7-9-9-|| 
D -----------7-7-9-9-|-----------7-7-9-9-|| 
A -------------------|-------------------|| 
E -------------------|-------------------|| 

and the song fades out (and into PANIC!!)
