Here is a substitute tab for the song that doesn't require you to tune your guitar a 
half step down, but does require a capo though. Guitar-wise I'd say it's the closest thing 
you can get to without retuning.

Capo on 4th fret

(I wrote this in simplest terms but by all means play around with it to make it unique)

     This must be it, welcome to the new year...

(Note: it sounds better to play just the lowest 3-4 strings instead of all of them; this 
goes for all chords played exculding the verses)

(All chorus chords)
E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)        B (x2444x@1)      A (x02220@1)    E (022100@1)      A (x02220@1)  B (x2444x@1)I'm trying to find out if my words have any meaning....

(In this part you could substitute the 'A' chord for a 'D' chord, I couldn't tell which 
sounded better but I felt an 'A' chord fit nicely there)
