Great tab, rated it four stars. The only thing keeping it from that fifth star is that it's unclear at parts. For example, the octaves for the prechorus need clarification because you only list six strums in a 4/4 measure, and all have equal spacing so it's confusing how to play 6 notes to take up 8. The same kind of problem occurs for the octaves of the bridge; how do I play 9 notes in a 4/4 measure without some indication of which notes are shorter than others?
This is definitely nitpicking and your tab is solid. Four stars is a good rating and five stars (I think) should be reserved for those tabs that we know are 100 percent complete and 100 percent accurate. Thanks for the help in playing this song!
Also, I like to transpose the song down a step to make it for suitable for full chords (a sort-of acoustic version). With the help of your tab, I've come up with:
