Chords

Really wanted to play this, so I figured it out. The strumming pattern is how I've been playing it as I think most if not all of the song is just picked on guitar, but I included it to give an idea of tempo. It should sound right, I think maybe the outro has some strumming in the original and that's the pattern they use. Also, all the chords that are marked with two asterisks (**) should be played for the duration of two strumming patterns, and everything else should be just one. The chord at the end that's marked with one asterisk (*) should be played with one strum. Also, the tabs are in pairs that should look like tab/chords/tab/beats going downwards. Each pair of tabs should be played at the same time. If you're playing on GCEA uke, try just playing this twice instead:
E|--------5/7---5---3---0---| (x3)  |--------5/7---5---3---0-|---
C|--------------------------|       |------------------------|-2-
            3   &   4   &                      3   &   4   &   1
Thanks, enjoy!

[Verse]
G             D            Em
   You're the crick in my neck

             C           G
You're the pillow to fix it

           D                 Em
You're the bent discs in my back

         C
You're a soothing ice pack
[Chorus]
Cmaj7      D             B7         Em
   Did it hurt when you fell down my wishin' well?

Cmaj7       D         B7          Em               Cmaj7
   Did you find medicine? Did your heartstings swell?

        D                B7
Do you see me in your dreams?

             Em                       Cmaj7
Convince yourself that this is happening

Or did you forget everything?

G               D             Em
   You're the flowers on my grave

          C                        G
You're the stone that keeps 'em in place

           D                    Em
You're the dirt that keeps me snug

           C
You're the worms that eat me up

   Did you find medicine? Did your heartstings swell?

         D             B7
Do you see me in the street?

        Em               Cmaj7
Does PDA make your heart sink?

            D           Gmaj7**
Or did you forget everything?

Em             D              C               G
   I saw you crying 'cause of me, it made me lose my fuckin' mind
