Chords
Play the strum on beat 1 the first time only, after that hold the last strum
of the pattern over to the next bar.
A 2nd guitar plays F#sus4 over the F#m's in the verses so that also works.
Dm7/F* - F played by the bass, can just play Dm7 on guitar.

We just fell about the place Bm7 Bm7/E If that chick don't wanna know, forget her!
