Couldn't find a good chord chart for this song. They all sound wrong to me, except for maybe
one of them but that one is being played the hard way. Also a lack of a chord chart, and 
all of the
lyrics kind of triggers my OCD. And makes me fix it.

Capo 1 for the key that it's played on the album. But sounds great open.

I think you can just skip this crazy chord.......F#m11. I do and it sounds great. Other than that it is a great tab. :D

f#m11 is not a crazy chord. It is right.

With the F#m11 if you are not muting the top two strings (5 and 6) when you play the asus2, the f#m11 won't sound much different. In other words it forces you to play that asus2 correctly. However, if you did skip it, I don't suppose it would sound that bad. Thanks for the kudos though.
