I use half step down because I think most of their songs are easier to play that way.  
put up a better tab.  Hopefully this gets you most of the way there.
I didn't do the intro when Aaron narrates.
DmPlace your Gmhand Con mine, untie your mind.
DmLet your bGmloateCd brain balloon and Ffloat away.
CWet the Aend Dmof tChe Bbthread.
DmThiGmmblDme upon your index.
DmSet Fthe needle on its path,
GmBobbCing up and down and past.
DmTears and Fseams all turn to one,
GmWith every sBbtitch Amand Gmeach spool spun.
DmFeed the line through its eye,
GmDraw Cit from the other side.
DmPull the strand to satisfy
GmThe need to CcompFose,
CThe genetic Agap.
The DmscienCtific Bbhalf
FThe detailed blueCprint,
Swept under carpets.
DmAll we Fdid was spreaBbd the eye of tChe silver splinter.
DmWe simply plantFed the seed aBbnd nursed it through Cwinter.
FThe rest is up to you to do with what you'll do.
FTo learn Amand love and laugh,
Till the Gmcycle circles Cback.
FI'll just Amseparate, Gmweigh anchoCr, disengage.
DiFvide and Amdisappear, IGm'll see Cyou Din the mirror.
