Capo 3
 
Use the barre chord on 3rd fret for the CM7.
 
The picking is pretty much just like this for the intro and verses (relative to capo 3!)
 
   CM7         Bm
e|----------|---------|
B|-------5--|-------3-|
G|-----4----|-------4-|
D|---5------|-------4-|
A|-3--------|-----2---|
E|----------|---------|
 
with a variation when it comes to the Bm7 Am situation:
 
  Bm7          Am
e|----------|---------|
B|-------3h2|-------1-|
G|-----2----|-----2---|
D|---4------|---2-----|
A|-2--------|-0-------|
E|----------|---------|
 
I've personally found that it works best if you play the Am regular for the verses and pre-chorus
and on the 5th for the chorus. Hope that helps

        CM7 Bm
Is it alright
        CM7 Bm      CM7 Bm    Bm7 Am
to feel this way so early?
        CM7 Bm
And in my blood,
        CM7     Bm
all the sweet nothings
        CM7     Bm           Bm7 Am
fallin' in love overnight
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
CM7                Bm
Didn't mean to get so close
CM7              Bm
And I know that I should probably go
      CM7      Bm
But I got this feeling
         Bm7           Am
Tell me, girl, I gotta know

Touch you softly, I call you up late at night

Know that it isn't right, but you could be my one and only
G                       Am
You get me in the mood, know what I'm tryna do

All my life,

been wanting this forever (Mmm)
          CM7 Bm
And in my mind,
         CM7    Bm
think of ways to ask you
     CM7            Bm             Bm7 Am
"Why don't you come over sometime?"
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

And I don't care what they say

And I don't care what they say
             CM7                               G
Care what they say to me, I'm doing it differently
    Am            CM7
Baby, I'm doing it differently
