Apart by The Cure piano tab (text):

Main riff:      (with flanger and slow echo) 
 
E|-------------------------------| 
B|-------------------------------|       (let ring for another measure) 
E|-----------2---0h2-------------| 
B|-------------------------------| 
F|-------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: 
Fm--221- 
E --000- 
Bm--323- 
Fm (same) 
 
then this riff 
B|----5---5---5---6---------5--|-------3-------5--------3------| 
 
B|-------------3------5--------|-------------------------------| 
E|----5------------------------|--------5----------------------| 
 
Ft the end of the first verse play the following fill (mixed low) 
 
Bm---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---| 
E|-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------| 
E|--------------------------------|--2---------5-------4------------|  
 
(Repeat last measure of above) 
(Repeat the whole thing) 
 
Solo: 
 
E|----4--5--5/7-7--4-5---4--|---4------------------------| 
B|--------------------------|-------5--7--5---5---2-2-2--| 
 
E|------2-2----5--5---5-4-5-4-5-|--4-4-----------------|----4-5--7--7--4-5--4-|

       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 
 
                         E         Bm           Fm 
                        how did we get this far apart? 
                                  Fm            E 
                       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

                      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
