The Moon Is A Magnet Tabs

(ver. 3)
Jon Foreman
This is an awesome song off of Jon Foreman's EP, Fall. I saw a tab for it but there was 
lot of mistakes so I figured I'd give it a try. This is my first tab, so sorry if it 
Either way let me know what you think.

Chorus
This part your just gonna have to play with. the picking pattern is pretty weird but 
get it in time if you play along with the song. the chords are:

1st "What are we if we're not in love."
e]----x-----x------x------x------|
B]----3-----3------3------3------|
G]----0-----0------2------2------|
D]----0-----2------0------0------|
A]----2-----0------x------0------|
E]----3-----x------x------2------|

2nd "What are we if we're not in love."
e]----x-----x------x------x------|
B]----3-----3------3------4------|
G]----0-----0------2------x------|
D]----0-----2------0------4------|
A]----2-----0------x------2------|
E]----3-----x------x------x------|

(this part in the chorus is weird picking too.. i can play it but i can't tab it. i'll 
you the chords and what it should loosely look like)
"These are the cages"
e]----x-----x------------------|
B]----5-----5------------------|   (I play it w/o the 6 on the 3rd string but
G]----5-----6------------------|     if you were going to play that string
D]----5-----7------------------|     it'd be a 6)
A]----3-----4------------------|
E]----x-----x------------------|

"A kiss is contagious"
e]----x-----x------------------|
B]----7-----7------------------|
G]----7-----8------------------|  (Same thing here as above except the 8)

B]----12-------------14------------------|
G]----12-------------14------------------|
D]----12-------------14------------------|
