I based this on the acoustic version of Julia Michaels and Niall Horan:
For a tabbed explanation, but similar version, check my other tab:

Chords:
F: xx32oo
G: xx54oo
C: xx910oo
Bm:xx79oo
Am:xx57oo
Note for F chord:
Hammer on your finger on the G string after first stroke every time you play this chord
Repeating Chord Sequence (whole song):
F-G-F-G-C-Bm-Am-GWith Strumming:
F G F G C Bm Am G ↓ ↓↑↓ ↓↑↓ ↓↑↓ ↓↑↓ ↓↑↓ ↓↑↓ ↓↑↓ ↓↑
Repeat this sequence throughout the whole song
For every first downstrum of a chord, try to just hit the base notes!
Optional:
In the chorus he adds the E-string to the chords to add some depth
I found it's easiest to use the thumb for the E-string
Make sure to dampen out the A-string while playing
The chords then become:
F: 1x32oo
G: 3x54oo
C: 8x910oo
Bm:7x79oo
Am:5x57oo
Optional 2 (Easier):
If the thumb is too hard, it's also possible to play the chords like this:
F: 1x32oo
G: 32oooo
C: x32ooo
Bm:x2oooo
Am:xo2ooo
