We are tabbing Hoobastank - The Reason

There are plenty of tabs for this track since it's the latest single from the new album, so I'm gonna give you the tab for the acoustic version. It's a single guitar version recorded live for some American radio station; I can upload it for those who are keen to hear it. I play the chorus of this version with the first and second strings ringing open, which I reckon gives it a fuller sound since you'll be jamming it on your lonesome (mute them if you want). Here it is:

Intro:
(use your thumb for the bass notes and first two fingers for the rest)

-------------------------------------------------
-------------------7---9-----------7---9---------
---------------------------8---9-----------8---9-
-------------------------------------------------
-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---
-------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------
--7---9-----------7---9---------
----------8---9-----------8---9-
--------------------------------
7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---
--------------------------------


Verse:
(just strum 'em, being sure to mute the low E)

--7-----4--
--7-----4--
--9-----6-- x 2
--9-----6--
--7-----4--
--x-----x--

--7-----4-----0-----0--
--7-----4-----0-----0--
--9-----6-----x-----x-- x 1
--9-----6-----7-----9--
--7-----4-----7-----9--
--x-----x-----5-----7--


Chorus:
(again, just strum the chords)

--0-----0-----0-----0--
--0-----0-----0-----0--
--9-----6-----x-----x--
--9-----6-----7-----9--
--7-----4-----7-----9--
--x-----x-----5-----7--

To give it more feeling, add your middle finger occasionally where the muted notes are while strumming for the A and B chords (the last two) i.e.

--0-----0-----0-----0--
--0-----0-----0-----0--
--9-----6-----6-----8--
--9-----6-----7-----9--
--7-----4-----7-----9--
--x-----x-----5-----7--


Bridge:
(strum the hell outta these D and E chords)

--x-----0--
--3-----0--
--2-----2-- x 2
--0-----2--
--0-----1--
--x-----0--


Ok, that's about it. Corrections? Questions? I'll post a complete tab of the album/radio version if you guys want it.
