Strumming Patterns for Chorus are a bit tricky, and I guess I hear something like a 
slide into the C in it,
not sure about that, but this works pretty well for me.

(Intro): G C F

(Verse):
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)FAll (133211@1)I see
G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1)      FLying (133211@1)there in front of me
              G (320003@1)   C (x32010@1)FMaybe (133211@1)we were here be-fore
G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)     FI (133211@1)just didn't wanna believe
G (320003@1)              C (x32010@1)     FBut (133211@1)in all that time we never talked

You wrote it all down so I couldn't ignore it

(Chorus):
G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)        FThis (133211@1)is the way you want it to be
G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)        FThis (133211@1)is the way you want it to be
    G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)        FOh, (133211@1)this is the way you want it to be
                       G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)FGuess (133211@1)you don't want me

G C F

(Verse):
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) FWe (133211@1)had love
G (320003@1)              C (x32010@1)       FAlways (133211@1)thought it would be enough
                G (320003@1)  C (x32010@1)name="chord_133211@1">F
Oh, but then it goes a-way
       G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)       FBut (133211@1)I don't really wanna give up
    G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)      FIt (133211@1)feels like hell to let you walk

Bet it all down but I couldn't afford it

(Chorus):
This is the way you want it to be
This is the way you want it to be
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
                     G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)name="chord_320003@1">G  C (x32010@1)name="chord_320003@1">G FGuess (133211@1)you don't want me

(Bridge):
                               G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)name="chord_320003@1">G  C (x32010@1)name="chord_320003@1">G FAnd (133211@1)I never really said it before
                                       G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)name="chord_320003@1">G  C (x32010@1)G (320003@1)name="chord_133211@1">F
But I really should have given you so much more

(Chorus):
But this is the way you want it to be
This is the way you want it to be
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
Guess you don't want me

(Outro):
                     G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)FGuess (133211@1)you don't want me
                     G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)FGuess (133211@1)you don't want me
                     G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)FYeah, (133211@1)you don't want
                     G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)FGuess (133211@1)you don't want

Me
