chorus- this is the part where other tabs ont sound right to me, this seems closer in my opinion

rhythm guitar

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|-----5-4------5-4----------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------4-5------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-0-0------0-0--------------------------------------------------------------|

thats all the rhythm guitar plays in the chorus, doesnt sound right by itself, but when 
together with the lead it sounds perfect!

G|-----5-4-----5-4---------5-4-----5-4---------------------------------------|
D|-2-2-----2-2-----4-5------------------4-5----------------------------------|

D|-2-2-----2-2-----4-5------------------4-5----------------------------------|
