C/G - 332010  (He plays this instead of the normal C. Just move ring finger to 6str and add pinkie on 5str)
 
 
[Intro]
C/G  D  C/G  D  C/G  D  G  Em
 
[Verse]
 
C/G        D               C/G                 D               C/G
This years love had better last, 'cause heaven knows it's high time.
C/G       D             G             Em
I've been waiting on my own, too long.
C/G      D                C/G             D
When you hold me like you do, it feels so right, oh now
C/G           D             G
   I start to forget how my heart gets torn
          Em                       A               C/G [pause, 2, 3, 4]
When that hurt gets thrown, feeling like I can't go on.
 
 
[Verse]
 
C/G     D                  C/G                  D
Turning circles when time again, it cuts like a knife, oh now
C/G    D              G             Em
If you love me got to know for sure
C/G                D                   C/G                     D
   'cause it takes something more this time, than sweet, sweet lies, oh now
C/G         D         G                      Em
   Before I open up my arms and fall, losing all control
      A               C/G            C/G             G
Every dream inside my soul, when you kiss me on that midnight street
         Em                  A                   C/G
Sweep me off my feet, singing ain't this life so sweet
 
C/G            D               C/G   D
    This years love had better last
 
[Chord Solo]
C/G  D  G  Em
 
 
C/G            D               C/G
    This years love had better last
 
[Verse]
 
C/G                D            G
   'cause whose to worry if our hearts get torn
          Em                          A                   C/G
When that hurt gets thrown, don't you know this life goes on
          C/G             G
Won't you kiss me on that midnight street
         Em                   A                  C/G
Sweep me off my feet, singing ain't this life so sweet
 
 
[Outro]
C/G            D               C/G   D
    This years love had better last,
C/G            D               C/G   D
    This years love had better last,
C/G            D               C/G   D
    This years love had better last,
C/G            D               C/G   D
    This years love had better last,
C/G            D               C/G
    This years love had better last,
           D
woah woah ah, ah yeah,
C/G            D               G [Strum slow to finish]
    This years love had better last.

Brilliant! Best chords!

And with the subsequent D chord, if you add your pinky on the third fret (don’t know the chord name) only on the last D strum, then you get the “rising” to the C/G chord that he plays on piano. One of my fav songs ever, thanks Dauntless0!

good vibes on th C/G to D. figure out the piano by finger picking. The C/G and Cadd9 are both right..whatever voicing works for you and only you ...music has less rules.
