how to play "Screaming Infidelities" by dashboard confessional

Ok...the hardest part of this song is the tuning. Its in an open D flat tuning. every string is a D flat except for the A string which is tuned down a half step to an A flat. so...tune your low E string down to a D flat. your A string down to an A flat. your D string down to a D flat. your g string down to a D flat. your b string UP to a D flat. and your high E string down to a D flat. (note that all the strings are tuned down EXCEPT for the B string...tune that UP to a D flat...if youre gonna break a string tuning, its probably going to be that one.  :))

again, ive included a video showing me playing along (shot on my phone so forgive the quality.).. the tab is chords only, you're on your own with the strumming patterns. verses are pretty easy...the chorus gets a little quick with the chord changes.
