Strumming

Edit
Is this strumming pattern correct?
1

NOT IN INTRO
      C
e|---------
B|---------
G|---------
D|-2-------
A|----5--3-
E|---------(strum C)
 
keep the picking patterns between most of the chord changes - ones with "*" do not have them.
 
for the D7 chord, pluck the 3rd string (D string) before the chord is played.
 
~~you want to land on the chord when it appears, so start the picking pattern before then. also if it is
a quicker change, one strum will do the trick!~~
 
 
[Intro] - play 2x
 
        G                  Em                     G                  Em

[Verse 1]
G                  Em
Pretty lights roll over the river
G              Em                                  C
My, oh my, the sky's so much bigger than we thought
     G*      Em       C*
And I wanna see it all
G*                       Em              G*
Cool summer nights were nice for a while
G                         Em             C
Right now, I'm missing my warm bath towel
     G*          Em           C*
It's nice going out with you
             G*             Em      C*
But isn't it lovely coming home to
 
 
[Chorus]
G*                       Em
Take me home, I want my bed, I want my mom
      G                      Em
We've had so much fun, but I want to go home
        C           D7            G*              Em
We will sit on the windowsill and look up at the sky
        C                 D7       G*                   Em
And the clouds will spell messages addressed to you and I
         C         D7             G*               Em
We will water the plants for the first time in a while
         C          D7          G*
And I'll say with a sigh, "I am home"

I think it would be helpful to add in the intro (though I know it's a bit long), but overall, you covered the lyrics portion well.
