Kimbra - Cameo Lover

So the chords here are the shapes she uses when she plays it live. 
She actually tunes her low E string up to an F for this song, i'd guess 
so it can ring out and add a bit of body to all the quite prominent F 
chords. It makes sense, but anyway, if you can't be doing with re-tuning 
it's just a case of playing all the notes you would on the low E string
one fret up. I've tabbed out what they'd look like too just after the 
main chord list, cause i'm nice like that.

Just for clarification, an asterisk (*) next to a chord indicates an 
alternate shape or position for what is essentially the same chord, 
so just refer to chord list if you want to be properly accurate (it can 
be only a small difference but it can be quite important in the context).
You could also just play whatever shape or position you like of course, 
its really down to YOUR artistic discretion. Always remember that.

One more note, Kimbra likes her jazz chords, and i like her for it. 
But in the second chorus and the second time she sings 'love is like a
silhouette in dreams', she plays a C chord where there would usually
be an F6sus2 chord and it sounds a bit odd. If you dont want to do 
that, you'd probably figure out anyway, you can just go ahead and
play that F6sus2 like I do. I really just noted that C in for the 
sake of accuracy.

So heres your chord list:

Gm7    Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)  Bb9 (x1011x@1)  D7 (xx0212@1) Am7 (x02010@1) Abm7   C (x32010@1) F6sus2  
E----------8-------------------------------------------|
B---3------10------13-----------------------5-----8----|
G---3------9-------13-----5-----5-----4-----5-----7----|
D---3------10------12-----4-----5-----4-----5-----x----|
A---x------8-------13-----5-----x-----x-----3-----8----|
F---2------0--------------------4-----3-----------0----|

Dm (xx0231@1)  Em (022000@1)  F (133211@1)   G (320003@1)  Am7*   G9 (x2323x@1)   
E---5-----7----------------------------|
B---6-----8-----10----12----------10---|
G---7-----9-----10----12----------10---|
D---7-----9-----10----12----5-----9----|
A---5-----7-----8-----10----7-----10---|
F---------------------------4----------|

E9 (020132@1)  A (x02220@1)  A7 (x02020@1) Gmaj7 (xx5432@1) Em7*  Em7   F#m7 (131141@2) A*
E----------------------------------7-----9-----------|
B---7-----2----2-----12-----12-----8-----10----14----|
G---7-----2----0-----11-----x------7-----9-----14----|
D---6-----2----2-----12-----12-----9-----11----14----|
A---7-----0----0-----10-----x------7-----9-----12----|
F---------------------------11-----------------------|

And if you're playing in standard tuning then the only 
chord shapes that are different are these ones here:

Gm7  Fmaj7   Am7   Abm7   F6sus2   Am7*   Em7*
E---------8------------------------------------------|
B---3-----10-------------------8--------------12-----|
G---3-----9------5-----4-------7--------------x------|
D---3-----10-----5-----4-------x-------5------12-----|
A---x-----8------x-----x-------8-------7------x------|
E---3------------5-----4---------------5------12-----|
