Hey guys, it's James, thought I'd post this as it's a great song by an awesome band and
havent really seen any full versions of it on here, so enjoy! (I tabbed this out by ear
I think it sounds pretty accurate but any corrections or constructive critisism will be welcomed)

Intro:
E|--------------|-------------|--------------|-------------|
B|-0-2-3-2------|-------------|-0-2-3-2------|-------------|
G|--------4-2-4-|-------------|--------4-2-4-|-------------|
D|-------------4|-0-2-0-0-----|-------------4|-0-2-0-0-----|
A|--------------|------2-4-0-0|--------------|------2-4-0-2|
E|--------------|-------------|--------------|-------------|

Verse:
(Listen to the song and figure out the strumming pattern)

Dsus2   Cmaj9   Bmaj   Cmaj
E|---   E|---   E|---  E|---|
B|-3-   B|-3-   B|-3-  B|-1-|
G|-2-   G|---   G|-3-  G|---|
D|---   D|-2-   D|-3-  D|-2-|
A|---   A|-3-   A|-1-  A|-3-|
E|---   E|---   E|---  E|---|

Chorus:
(Listen to when the strums are)

Gmaj   Dmaj   Amaj   Em
E|-3-  E|-2-  E|---  E|---|
B|-3-  B|-3-  B|-2-  B|---|
G|---  G|-2-  G|-2-  G|---|
D|---  D|---  D|-2-  D|-2-|
A|-2-  A|---  A|---  A|-2-|
E|-3-  E|---  E|---  E|---|

And that's basically it, for the outro, keep strumming the Dsus2 and fade out.
