Chords

Hi there! I tried to write down the chords of the acoustic version of this song that I like so much, that unfortunately I couldn't find anywhere like Meg plays it, so I hope someone will find it helpful! :) ⬇️
Variations:                           - The firts Chorus is entirely arpeggiated exept for the E.
1)(Bsus2*)->(X-2-4-4-X-X)             - The third chorus is arpeggiated till it says "How should I feel?"
2)(F#m*)->(X-9-11-11-10-9)            - *After "feel something" and "silent pain" you play 
3)(Dmaj7*)->(10-X-11-11-10-9)                                                [F#m(DD),(DUDU palm mute)]x2
4)(Asus2*)->(5-X-7-7-X-X)
5)(A*)->(5-7-7-6-X-X)
6)(Dsus2*)(5-X-7-7-X-X)
7)(E*)->(7-7-9-9-X-X)
The Chords without any "*" close to them are played the standard way! F#madd9->(2-4-4-X-X-4) (She doesn't really play this chord but it sounds more like the original) [Intro] F#m Asus2 F#madd9 Dsus2 [Verse 1]
F#m
His little whispers

Dsus2
Love Me, Love Me

F#m
That's all I ask for

Love Me, Love Me
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m              Asus         Dsus2      Asus2      Bsus2*  *
He battered his tiny fists to feel something

Wondered what it's like to touch and feel something

Creatures lie here

         E
Looking through the window...
F#m Dsus2 F#madd9 Dsus2 [Verse 2]
F#m
That night he caged her

Dsus2
Bruised and broke her

F#m
He struggled closer

Dsus2
Then he stole her
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m               Asus2
Violet wrists and then her ankles

Dsus2  Asus  Bsus2*  *
Silent Pain.        

F#m            Asus2                Dsus2    Asus2  Bsus2*
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams.
[Chorus]
F#m
Monster

How should I feel?

Creatures lie here

         C#m
Looking through the windows

I will

           Dsus2
Hear their voices

       Asus2
I'm a glass child

      E
I am Hannah's regrets

Turn the sheets down

        C#m
Murder ears with pillow lace

        F#m
There's bathtubs

         Dsus2
Full of glow flies

         Asus2
Bathe in kerosene

             E             F#m
Their words tattoed in his veins. Yeah
