The C2 could be played as a Cadd9 with the pinky finger on the E string, and the Em7 should be played as way 7 of 47, with fingers on the A, D, B, E strings respectively. The A7sus on somehow can be played as Asus, and to make it easier, the G/F# and G/B can just be played as G. This is how I play the song, thanks for reading! :)
