I didn't come up with these chords. I got these chords from Goldyfish130's cover
of Gabe's cover and
they seem to fit well. Standard Tuning. The verses are fingerpicked and it's pretty easy to
figure out the picking pattern once you have the chords, the pre-chorus is
strummed but muted, and the chorus and bridge are strummed normally.
Here are the covers case anybody wants them:
