This is a acoustic version of Alkaline Trio's "This Could Be Love".
You can play the standard chords but I would suggest to add a high B & E note
(string 5 & 6)to every chord (exept for the F#m). Play the chords like this:
C#m (x46600)
Aadd9 (002200)
F#m (2442xx)
B (x24400)
E (024400)
Feel free to comment or correct! Have fun!
