how do you read guitar tabs?

i really really really need help reading tabs. so this is like a song by paramore called here we go again and im really really like having a hard time reading this. like i just don’t have any clue how to read it. i know how to play guitar very well and nobody taught me how to play it at all. so i never knew how to read tabs ‘cos i didn’t have guitar lessons.

anyway here it is. thanks.
