This tab took a while to figure out then write out- so please enjoy it!
I know it's not gonna be perfect, but I feel i came relatively close.
Also, I based this tab off a live performance... so reference it!

Tuning:Open E (EBEG#Be). He actually tunes it to open D (DADF#Ad) then sticks
a capo on the 2nd fret, which makes it easier on the strings. All notes
are relative to the capo by the way.

Final note- the whole song is finger-picked, which kinda seems necessary for the tone of 
this song.

Intro: The bass notes aren't a hundred percent, but it flows nicely.

Bridge: the 'let go' part. this is the only part he strums so listen for the
pattern, and this is the only part I'm really unsure of (it starts at 2:27
btw)The first 2 chords should be right, but after that I'm wrong- oh well.
e |-12--11--12--11------|
B |-0---0---0---0-------|
G#|-12--10--12--10------|
E |-0---0---0---0-------|
B |-0---0---0---0-------|
E |---------------------|

This is my best guess which isn't very good lol
e |-5--4--|
B |-0--0--|
G#|-5--3--| repeated a lot
E |-0--0--|
B |-0--0--|
E |-------|

After this he does the chorus once more, then intro to finish it.

Enjoy! and feel free to comment and rate.
