The tabs I've seen here haven't been 100 % correct. They've had some of the chords 
right but Aaron and Bryce plays them in different positions and voicings.

Don't exactly know what to call the 4th chord but naming it B flat minor with a C# 
just for the sake of it. Sounds like a suspended chord.
And I don't think they play the high E in the Abm actually but I like to 
sometimes, do what you prefer.

Chords used:
Ebm: X643XX  (X6887X) Bryce plays that shape during the bridge, I like to change between the two.
  B: 7644XX
Abm: 466444 
BbC#:6X46XX (The 4 on the A string is muted by the ring finger, that's why I X'd it)
 F#: 244322
C#m: X46654
