The second chord in the chorus, at "last bit of sanity" is a D minor. Besides that, perfect!
I believe politik827 is 100% right. Thanks for the great tab though. Figuring out those simple bass notes is a piece of cake and you pretty much nailed it. Ill 5 star ya.
I also believe it is a capo four as shown in there live version on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tV8zSsMFSo.
