I wrote this tab before the song came out publicly so the chords/lyrics might be 
slightly different than what is out now.  For my ear the other chords/tabs listed 
do not sound right so I figured I'd share these incase others relate.  Hopefully 
you like it.  Comments can be sent to my email listed above.
