I think this sounds pretty similar to what
the studio version of the song sounds like.

I'm not sure if the chords are spot on, or
even the timing with the lyrics so if you
have any suggestions please let me know.

The song always goes the same way, with the same
chords progression (i think); however, the chorus
might sound a little better if you use F5 instead
of F6sus4. Try it out and figure what works best
for you.
