Chorus(s)
The rhythm is pretty simple for the chorus(s). So, here are the chords.
e -0-----------0-----------0-----------0----------|
B -1-----------0-----------0-----------1----------|
G -2-----------0-----------2-----------0----------|
D -2-----------2-----------3-----------2----------|
A -0-----------2-----------3-----------3----------|
E -------------2-----------3----------------------|
Am Em Fmaj7-5 Cmaj
The second verse ends a little differently than the first when transitioning into the
but it is the same chord and isn’t hard to figure it out.
