Hey fellas! I looked up for this song and I came across with a lot of mistakes. The chorus chords are not as simple as everyone seems to think. For I am not completely sure these are the exact chords, but they are the most similar I could get. If anyone disagree, or have any suggestions, e-mail me, please!
