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:

G+G|--------4-2-4-|-------------|--------4-2-4-|-------------|

A augmentedA|--------------|------2-4-0-0|--------------|------2-4-0-2|
E MajorE|--------------|-------------|--------------|-------------|

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

Dsus2Dsus2   CMaj9Cmaj9   Bmaj   Cmaj
E MajorE|---   E MajorE|---   E MajorE|---  E MajorE|---|
BB|-3-   BB|-3-   BB|-3-  BB|-1-|
G+G|-2-   G+G|---   G+G|-3-  G+G|---|
D MajorD|---   D MajorD|-2-   D MajorD|-3-  D MajorD|-2-|
A augmentedA|---   A augmentedA|-3-   A augmentedA|-1-  A augmentedA|-3-|
E MajorE|---   E MajorE|---   E MajorE|---  E MajorE|---|

Chorus:
(Listen to when the strums are)

Gmaj   Dmaj   Amaj   E minorEm
E MajorE|-3-  E MajorE|-2-  E MajorE|---  E MajorE|---|
BB|-3-  BB|-3-  BB|-2-  BB|---|
G+G|---  G+G|-2-  G+G|-2-  G+G|---|
D MajorD|---  D MajorD|---  D MajorD|-2-  D MajorD|-2-|
A augmentedA|-2-  A augmentedA|---  A augmentedA|---  A augmentedA|-2-|
E MajorE|-3-  E MajorE|---  E MajorE|---  E MajorE|---|

And that's basically it, for the outro, keep strumming the Dsus2Dsus2 and fade out.
