In the intro, verses and chorus, when you play the first E7M listed, don't strum it,
just run your thumb down the strings (arpeggio?).
The chord changes are very fast, just strum each chord once. Also, the C#m is optional.
Again listen to the song and you'll know what i mean.
I haven't been able to figure out that bridge portion,
so if someone wants to take a stab at it go ahead.
