Chords
So the guitar tabs on this website are accurate but I needed to learn the chords on piano to write my own part
Hopefully this helps someone. Really unique chord progression going on here
The main verse chords are:
Dm7 C G7/B G
The main chorus chords are:
C7sus4 D7sus4 Gm F/G Gm
Where a C7sus4 is C F G Bb and a D7sus4 is D G A C (would be a minor chord if not sus)
The post chorus is slightly different the first and second time:
first time is just a Bb7, and also it plays the 9 and 11 (C, Eb)
the second time it starts on a Bb6 or Gm7/Bb idea, then it does the same idea from the first post chorus (Bb7)
On the main verse, I like to play the C as a Cadd9
