Comment for any corrections and please rate

I love this song from Avenged Sevenfold and I always wanted to play it on acoustic guitar.
The chords in the screamo part were really hard to hear so I tried to listen to the rhythm guitar.
Hope you like it guys!

Intro chords:
Am G Em
Am G Em

Am                          G
 I see you fading away from us
                Em
 I'll miss you very much
Am                          
 Room with empty bottles, broken dreams
                  G                   Em
 And pride still running high, always on your side

     C         Em       Am
 But I wanted more for you
      G
 You can't go on this way
      C     Em                Am
 And now I see it all fall through
      G
 We pray for better days

   C     Em        Am
 Stuck alone and scared
    G
 Throw your life away
 C         Em              Am
 And now choking on your pride
      G
 May be the only way

E A E A E

 A
 I don't want to leave you like this
  E
 We all tried to save you but missed
 A
 I still feel the hope on your road
  E                                       Am  Em
 Now come back to us like the days of the old

                        Am Em                     Am Em
 I still feel you there,      trying to get on top
                           Am Em       Am  Em
 You'll always have my support, in my heart
                Am Em
 People you've hurt
                           Am Em
 Friends that you've lied to
               Am Em                
 But we understand, 

                 Am
 And that's not you 
 Can't take the end of the road
                        D
 I can see it now, for you
       E                D   E           A
 I'm scared, if I lose you, I'm not prepared
       C            G
 This time, if you die
    E                         A
 I watch you, right before my eyes
        C            G
 Just trust me, and listen
  E                    A  C G E A C G E
 You have no self control

   E
 This will take your life
 A                    D
 Overdose and then indulge until you die
  A                  D
 Wondering, we still ask the question why
   A                     D
 Broken home, and then abandoned by your dad
      A                    D
 And we are left the only family that you've ever had

 A                    D
 Overdose and then indulge until you die
  A                  D
 Wondering, we still ask the question why
   A                     D
 Broken home, and then abandoned by your dad
      A                    D                       A
 And we are left the only family that you've ever had

 C         Em       Am
 I wanted more for you
      G
 You can't go on this way
      C     Em                Am
 And now I see it all fall through
      G
 We pray for better days

   C     Em        Am
 Stuck alone and scared
    G
 Throw your life away
 C         Em              Am
 And now choking on your pride
      G              E
 May be the only way

                    C    Em
 Help you see it through
                    C  Em
 Fight this me and you
                  C   Em
 Reaching deep inside
                    C       D      G Em
 Problems not just you is what we find
 C               D        G Em  C D G
 Our friendship makes it mine
