Ok, first time effort here, but I thought the song was really catchy and
decided to try and get it down for anyone interested. As usual, this is
just my interpretation -- this is what my ears heard, but they could always
be wrong. Also, I don't know the names for all the chords, so while the
chords listed below are correct, the names might not be. Those marked
with a '?' use my own naming convention.

A#m: 688666
?A# Off: 666666
A#: 688766
F#: 244322
C#: 446664
?C# Off: 446644
G#m: 466444
G#: 466544
D#: 668886
?D# Off: 668866
B: 224442
B Off: 224422
F: 133211
I believe the electric guitar in the song is playing some of the chords
higher, (especially the F# and C#), so transpose to your liking.
As you can see above, most of the song is played near the middle of
the guitar, so try to avoid playing low transpositions like A#m = [x13321].
Here are some other suggestions that sound right, but could get painful if
you're trying with an acoustic:
F#: 9-9-11-11-11-9
C#: 9-11-11-10-9-9

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official GUSTER tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
