Yes, I know there are already TWELVE versions of this tab. None of them are right to my ear. Even the best 
versions are missing the suspended chord in the chorus and that chord makes a HUGE difference in the sound 
of this song.  (If you don't like how the Asus4 sounds, just play a D.)

Note: If the chord is in (parenthesis) then it's optional. The piano walks it down We(D) Are(A) Young(Bm) 
& Set(Bm) World(A) Fire(G) so I strum once for each of those.  You can leave that out if you want to.

I based this tab off of the acoustic version found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQLGhPHzxjc
