About the tunning, on the 'purevolume' vid, I believe Quinn is using some sort of Open D,
as he uses his pinky finger on 7th fret of the 2nd string, and he needs to get the 3 main
notes for the main riff: D, C# and E.
I'll use Drop D for this tab, as it's easier to tune wherever you are playing this song :)

OOON MYYY OWWWWN ~*SCREAM*~
See all those people on the ground
Wasting time
I try to hold it all inside
But just for tonight
The top of the world
Sitting here wishing
The things I've become
That something is missing
Maybe I...
But what do I know
And now it seems that I have found
Nothing at all
I want to hear your voice out loud
Slow it down, slow it down
Without it all
I'm choking on nothing
It's clear in my head
And I'm screaming for something
Knowing nothing is better than knowing at all
On my own [x6]
Without it all
I'm choking on nothing
It's clear in my head
And I'm screaming for something
Knowing nothing is better than knowing at all
On my own [x4]

Wasting time
I try to hold it all inside
But just for tonight
The top of the world
Sitting here wishing
The things I've become
That something is missing
Maybe I...
But what do I know
And now it seems that I have found
Nothing at all
I want to hear your voice out loud
Slow it down, slow it down
Without it all
I'm choking on nothing
It's clear in my head
And I'm screaming for something
Knowing nothing is better than knowing at all

I'm choking on nothing
It's clear in my head
And I'm screaming for something

Open D Tuning
D A d g a e
Technically your picking this D chord for the intro and whenever else he does it:
e------0--------------|
a------0--------------|
g------6--------------|
d------7--------------|
A------5--------------|
E------0--------------|
Heres some what of an easier version but i think just listening to the song
and just picking kinda like he does it much more easier. It's quiet an easy
song.
**Let all the strings ring when u pick and strum chords unless stated otherwise**
