The tuning is 1/2 a step down.  I have the timing between notes very specifically spaced out, 

please pay attention to that when trying to play.

As tabbed, the chorus part should be alternating between the Eb and Ab strings (starting on Ab), not all on Eb. I also think the chorus ends with another half step up at the end (E Bb D Eb E). I'm able to play this at standard tuning a half step down from the tabs and it seems right, not sure why flattened other than I know other Failure songs use that tuning.
