Unbelievers Tabs

(ver. 1)
Vampire Weekend
What up. This is my very first tablature, so please soften up the organization 
that I made on this. Also, everything that I do will be from Ezra's perspective. 
Note that I'm new to chords so the chord names could be
wrong. Other than that, have fun with this!!!

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Got a little soul
The world is a cold, cold place to be
Want a little warmth
But who's going to save a little warmth for me

[Pre-Chorus]
We know the fire awaits unbelievers all of the sinners the same
Girl you and I will die unbelievers bound to the tracks of the train

[Verse 2]
If I'm born again I know that the world will disagree
Want a little grace but who's going to say a little grace for me?

[Pre-Chorus]
We know the fire awaits unbelievers
All of the sinners the same
Girl you and I will die unbelievers bound to the tracks of the train

[Chorus]
I'm not excited but should I be
Is this the fate that half of the world has planned for me?
I know I love you
And you love the sea
But what holy water contains a little drop, little drop for me

[Verse 3]
See the sun go down, it's going on down when the night is deep
Want a little light but who's going to save a little light for me?
If I'm born again I know that the world will disagree
Want a little grace but who's going to say a little grace for me?

[Pre-Chorus]
We know the fire awaits unbelievers
All of the sinners the same
Girl you and I will die unbelievers bound to the tracks of the train

[Chorus]
I'm not excited but should I be
Is this the fate that half of the world has planned for me?
I know I love you and you love the sea
But what Holy water contains a little drop little drop for me

[Chorus]
I'm not excited but should I be
Is this the fate that half of the world has planned for me?
I know I love you and you love the sea
Wonder if the water contains a little drop little drop for me
