Dashboard Confessional - As Lovers Go

20100822:
So going through the tab, the verse to this song is straightforward.

[Some text has been deleted]

To simplify things, I will learn the chorus as B F# E C#m E F#. B F# E C#m A B. As done in As Lovers Go (Tab Ver 3)
Or B F# Abm C#m E F#. B F# Abm C#m E F#. As done in As Lovers Go (Chord Ver 2)

But maybe in the evening or tomorrow.

UPDATE:
I learned the second for simplicity. Then it's easy to do the modulated chorus just by shifting all the barred chords up two frets. The second verse I got, but the chorus I still get a little confused with the verses.
Chorus: This is easy as lovers go, so don't complicate it by hesitating. [And] This is wonderful as loving goes. This is taylor made. What's the sense in waiting.

So I guess I got down the whole song except for one minor silly factor haha.
Verse 1
Refrain 1
Chorus
Verse 2
Refrain 2
Chorus
Chorus Modulated
Chorus Modulated
End.
The silly factor is I've long listened to the song as "This is telling me what's the sense in waiting." So I feel like I'm missing part of the song. When it's just that the lyrics are "This is taylor made. What's the sense in waiting." Which I'm singing. It just makes me feel like I'm leaving something out. Haha.

Also for when to strike a chord, I just go with when I feel I need to strike it to go in tandem with the lyrics.

Apparently my post incorrectly stated the chord order. Though the tabs below would have been right. In any case, I'll do a proper breakdown of the song as I've been doing for more recent songs I've been learning.

II= E Abm C#m
IV= B E Abm E C#m A
III= B F#/Bb E C#m E F#
III'= B F#/Bb Abm C#m A F#
IIImod= C# Ab/C F# Ebm F# Ab
III'mod= C# Ab/C Bbm Ebm B Ab
IIIE= C# Ab/C Bbm Ebm(hold) B(hold) Ab(hold) C#

Verse1: I I I I
Refrain1: II IV
Chorus: III III'
Verse2: I I I I
Refrain2: II IV
Chorus: III III'
Chorus: IIImod III'mod
Chorus: IIImod IIIE

SIMPLIFIED:
I= B Abm E B
II= E Abm C#m B E Abm E C#m A
III= B F# Abm C#m E F#
IIImod= C# Ab Bbm Ebm B Ab

Verse1: I I I I
