Intro and Chorus i can pickup and sounds ok, but the Verse im having real difficulties... it just doesnt sound right especially the D and the A. Otherwise great chords, thank you!

The implied chords are going to confuse people. It's an E5, G5, A5, D5. Not rocket science... Tune however you like eh?
