Chords

My first song chords. Corrections are welcome, but I'm sure I got this about 99% correct. I know there's no guitar in the first verse, but you gotta have filler if you're singing. Power chords, if you aren't sure:

[Verse I]
 E                  A               
I've got emotion dripping out my pores

    E                          A
And I thought I would let you know

 E                         A                             E
You are the night light ripping through my wicked world

                  A
How you make it sparkle and glow
[Pre-Chorus I]
 B               A
Before I lose control

              C#                   B 
There's just one thing you should know
[Chorus I]
             E     A           G#          
This is for real, this time I mean it

 A           E            A        F#
I'm coming clean, please don't let go

   B              E                   A          G#
I said from the start that you could take it or leave it

  A              E        A        F#
Prefer that you keep it, don't let go

          B              
Don't let go, don't let go
[Post-Chorus I] E - A x2 [Verse II]
E                         A
I had some night pills crawling up my skin and bones

E               A
I nearly did explode

E                      A                        E
You smote the demons, gave me back my feelings

                  A
Now I am good to go
[Pre-Chorus II]
 B                        A
Before my face hits the floor

             C#                    B
There's just one thing you should know
[Chorus II]
             E     A           G#          
This is for real, this time I mean it

 A           E            A        F#
I'm coming clean, please don't let go

   B              E                   A          G#
I said from the start that you could take it or leave it

  A              E        A        F#
Prefer that you keep it, don't let go

          B              
Don't let go, don't let go
[Bridge I] ???
              E         A        C#    B       E    A   C#
This is the best thing that I've ever had for real

 B            E         A        C#    B       E    A   C#   B

A x8 C x8
 B       A                      C#       B 
For a physical challenge I'm notoriously bored

 B             A           C#            B 
Intravenous delivery, electrolytes and more

 B                   A 
Every time its the same routine

             C#                 B 
Out with the bad, in with the clean

  B                A 
Before I lose all motor skills

        C#                    B                    
There's one thing you should know
[Chorus III]
             E     A           G#           
This is for real, this time I mean it

 A           E            A        F# 
I'm coming clean, please don't let go

   B              E                   A          G# 
I said from the start that you could take it or leave it

  A              E        A        F#
Prefer that you keep it, don't let go

          B               
Don't let go, don't let go
[Outro]
             E         A        C#    B       E    A   C#

 B           E         A        C#    B       E    A   C# 
This is the best thing that I've ever had for real

 B           E         A        C#    B       E    A   C# 
This is the best thing that I've ever had for real

 B           E         A        C#    B       E    A   C#   B 
This is the best thing that I've ever had for real
