Elliott Smith Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands Lyrics

This is one of my favorite Elliott Smith songs, but there were no tabs for it on
UG so I figured it out myself. This is my first ever tab submission so go easy on me.
Chords Used: Of course there's multiple ways to play these chords but these sound the best to me.

VERSE:
Everybody cares, everybody understands

First chords are the same as verse:
sweet guitar part at ~2:43
Then 3:08:
Then the rhythm guitar goes a little something like this (3:17):
And the last chord progression (3:40) is:

And thats about it...enjoy
