Chord/Tab song: Breakeven

I will be playing this song for a gig in which my band only consists of a
drummer, vocalist and guitarist (that'd be me). The problem? This song needs
at least two guitarists.
So, I wrote this tab (A.) For other bands who are in the same dilemma I am
(one guitar and a well-layered piece) and (B.)so I could have a printed copy
of my version.

Place your capo on the 3rd fret on the top 5 strings, leaving low E open so
it looks like this:

e|-------capo-on-3rd----------|
B|-------capo-on-3rd----------|
G|-------capo-on-3rd----------|
D|-------capo-on-3rd----------|
A|-------capo-on-3rd----------|
E|-----------open-------------|

Intro:

e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|---7---7---7---7---7---7--------------------------------|
D|-8---8---8---8---8---8---8----7---7-----8----8----8-----| x4

Now here's where the capo-ed trickery bit comes in. Without the capo, you'd
play it like this:

e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|----3---3---3---3---|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|-3---3----1---1-----|

But since you've already got the capo on the third fret on the G string, you
play it like this:

e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|----0---0---0---0---|Play it twice, then through
D|--------------------|the first half of the verse
A|--------------------|
E|-3---3----1---1-----|

Verse:
Now, during the second half of the verse, you switch to chords; The whole
reason why your guitar was capo-ed!

Verse 2:

e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|----0---0---0---0---|Play Twice, then through the verse
D|--------------------|until: "'Cuz when a heart breaks
A|--------------------|no it don't breakeven"
E|-3---3----1---1-----|

Play chords on that final line:

[Em7]'Cuz when a heart b[D]reaks no it don't break[G]even[Cadd9]
