Chords

NOTE REGARDING THE CHORD CHOICES: With choosing the chords, I tried to stay as close to the original as possible. Most of the weirder chords in there, for example the F6/C --> Cmaj7 --> F6/C chord changes in the chorus, are just the embellishments that she actually plays on the piano. You could just leave them out and it would sound just as good. *regarding the Fsus2 in the chorus: I actually switch back and forth between Fsus2 and F on every syllable. With doing that, the focus is on the notes G (Fsus2) and A (F), which also happen to be the melody notes. piano lick over the Am and E7 chords in the intro and verse:
    Am             E7

G|----5---5---5-55----1-1--1--1--|
