fret high E, and ring on the third fret B.
- Bm: barre on the second fret, middle on the third fret B,
and ring and pinky on the fourth frets D and G.
- G: Middle finger on the third fret, low E; index on the second fret,
A; ring and pinky on the third fret, B; and high E.
- Strumming should be fluid, with an emphasis on transitions.
[Verse 1.]

- Em: Index on the 2nd fret on the A string, middle on the D string.
- Gm: Barre at the third fret, then ring on the fifth fret of the A and D strings.
- Use a quieter strumming rhythm to build tension before the chorus.
[Chorus]
- Chords are D, A, Bm, and G.
- The strumming pattern should be consistent and somewhat
intensified on downbeats.

[Chorus]
- Use the same chords and strumming as in the first chorus.
- Make sure each chord rings clearly and transitions smoothly.
