Capo on rd fret 

This is my first tab, i just figured out how to play it by watching him live and by ear.  
The tuning was by 
far the hardest part. I still dont know the intro, so feel free to tell me in the comments.  
The timing here might be a little  off so listen to the song   
  

Chords (I dont know the names so here are just the bass Notes) 


Intro: N/A 

    Verse: 
         F  
Tell you a story and it starts with time 
E 
Moves to how you live, and learn how to die 
         C             C2                         G 
Another phase in this world that brings death to life 
   F 
So don't believe in everything you see 
E 
Because what you want might not be what you need 
         C         C2                        G 
Hold your breath, jump with me and we'll survive 
F         E                                 G      G2   G   G4 
Cause you are the song that leads me to the light 
     
    Chorus: 
C              G5            C           F2 
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see 
 D4      D                 D2       F4 
Alone is the street where you found me 
C                 G5 
Scared of what's behind you 
    C                  F2 
And scared of what's in front 
 D4                 D 
Live with what you have now 
             D2        F4 
And make the best of what's to come 

    Intro: N/A 
     
    Verse: 
  F 
Tell me a story long and true 
                  E 
We aren't what we say 
We are what we do  
        C                 C2                       G 
Just pieces of a puzzle to find where we stand just to confused 
F               E                              G      G2   G   G4  
So you are the moon that pulls me through the night 

    Chorus: 
C              G5            C           F2 
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see 
 D4      D                 D2       F4 
Alone is the street where you found me 
C                 G5 
Scared of what's behind you 
    C                  F2 
And scared of what's in front 
 D4                 D 
Live with what you have now 
             D2        F4 
And make the best of what's to come 

THE INTERLUDE HERE IS THE SAME AS THE Chorus. REPEAT 2X 
     
   Chorus AGAIN: 
 C              G5            C           F2 
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see 
 D4      D                 D2       F4 
Alone is the street where you found me 
C                 G5 
Scared of what's behind you 
    C                  F2 
And scared of what's in front 
 D4                 D 
Live with what you have now 
             D2        F4 
And make the best of what's to come
