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

Verse 1: 

Ebm          B       Abm             BbC#
Say you stay at home, alone with the flu
Ebm       B          Abm           BbC#
Find out from friends that wasn't true
Ebm       B                          Abm   BbC#
Go out at night with your headphones on, again
Ebm                  B                   Abm    BbC#
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of, the dead

Chorus: 
               B        Abm                  Ebm         F#  
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
               B        Abm                  Ebm          F#
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost

    Abm                   B     C#m                  F#
But I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else
 Abm                  B     C#m                    F#
I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else

Play Ebm into the next verse.

Verse 2:

Ebm        B         Abm             BbC#
You said I came close as anyone's come
Ebm         B        Abm             BbC#
to live underwater for more than a month
Ebm               B             Abm        BbC#
  You said it was not inside my heart, it was
Ebm                  B               Abm      BbC#
  You said it should tear a kid apart, it does

               B        Abm                  Ebm          F#
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost

I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else

Bridge: I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it
                      F#
told my friends not to worry
        Abm                           B
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow wouldn't do it
