Boys Like Girls - Life Of The Party Acoustic Chords

Capo 5
Tuning: Open E (eBG#EBE) - How Martin Plays it
        Standard (eBGDAE) - Simplified
        (choose any)

So there were these videos on Martin's channel on youtube (fyeahmartinsays)
for the acoustic versions of the songs from the EP of Crazy World and an
acoustic of Hero/Heroine. I tabbed the acoustic version of Life of the Party
a long time ago and there were mistakes, so I tabbed it again. I think this
is about 99% correct.

Martin plays his guitar on Open E two steps down, so he has his capo on 7.
Since we're not two steps down, we've got our capo on 5. The Open E and
Standard tunings have the same progressions anyway, the only difference is
the fingerings. That means you could use either of the two tunings.

NOTE:
When switching from E to F#m, always hammer (for Open E) or slide (for
Standard Tuning). Watch the video if you don't get what I mean and to
know the strumming pattern and stuff.
