I originally uploaded this back in February 2012, and am now updating the chords 
to better reflect the song - he actually plays with a capo on fret 6, where I had
originally tabbed out in capo 1. So here's my February 2025 revision:
Throughout this song, there are a couple of chords played with the pinky and ring
fingers (3 and 4) on the third fret of strings 1 and 2 - this is mainly found in
G: 320033
G/B: X20033
C: X32033
Em7: 022033
Dsus4/F#: 200233
However in the pre-chorus and bridge this reverts to standard chord style:
Em: 022000
C: X32010
Cmaj7: X032000
Em11: 0000XX or 000XXX
D/A: X00232
Am: X02210
G: 320003
Gadd11: 320013
For the Gadd11 in the bridge, he rapidly switches between the Gadd11 and G chords
(I have tried to imitate this in how I've written the chords out, however please
I would recommend a finger placement similar to a C and then have the pinky (4)
on the third fret of the first string, then dipping on and off the first fret of
chord so I am unsure whether the correct chord diagram will be shown.
Otherwise, I've tried to place all chords above where they are played in the lyrics,
