Kill Tab

Jimmy Eat World
   "Kill"
 
Notes:
This song was a bit hard to figure out, but it's just so beautiful and I really wanted to tab it!
I saw other tabs on the net that were completely wrong (in standard tuning)
I think it's easy to understand that the guitars are tuned down half-a-step.
The most difficult part to figure out was the intro/verse where I'm not really sure
what he plays, but I think that my version sound more or less right.
there are some chords that I play in different ways so I'll write it down
here and you'll decide what you prefer:
 
G#m (466444) I usually play this chord on the chorus like this (x44200).
             I just think it sounds better
F#  (244322) In the chorus I usually prefer play this (F5: 244xxx)
             and you can even alternate the F#/A# with this (x14322) or (2143xx)
 
I had some problem figuring out the middle part riff, the 3rd chord is a bit hard
to do, but I didn't know how to do it, so if you find something easier just let
everyone know...
