Strumming

Hey guys this is my first attempt at tabbing out a song and I decided to pick out
one of my favorites...
I know that there are a ton of other tabs telling you how to play this amazing song,
but none of them are anywhere close to being played in standard and the ones that
are don't sound right to me.
So this is my attempt at tabbing out this song, and I think I got pretty close for
for the tuning it's in...
 
 
These are the chords for the verse... and the chord names are in relation to the open D tuning.
(Pick the bass notes of each chord on the chorus)
The strum pattern for the verse and the chorus is just d d u d u.

[Verse 1]
 
         D        D5            G5
And I'd give up forever to touch you
         Bm7           Asus4      G5
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
           D         D5          G5
Your the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
       Bm7         Asus4         G5
And I don't wanna go home right now
     D         D5             G5
And all I can taste is this moment
    Bm7         Asus4          G
And all I can breathe is your life
        D         D5        G
'Cause sooner or later its over
       Bm7          Asus4       G
And I don't want to miss you tonight
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       Bm7            Asus4       G5
And I don't want the world to see me
         Bm7               Asus4       G5
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
        Bm7       Asus4        G5
When everything's made to be broken
        Bm7        Asus4      G5
I just want you to know who I am
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
         D               D5                G5
And you can't fight the tears that ain't comin'
         Bm7      Asus4          G
Or the moments of truth in your lies
         D       D5              G5
When everything feels like the movies
         Bm7           Asus4      G
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       Bm7            Asus4       G5
And I don't want the world to see me
         Bm7               Asus4       G5
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
        Bm7       Asus4        G5
When everything's made to be broken
        Bm7        Asus4      G5
I just want you to know who I am
 
       Bm7            Asus4       G5
And I don't want the world to see me
         Bm7               Asus4       G5
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
        Bm7       Asus4        G5
When everything's made to be broken
        Bm7        Asus4      G5
I just want you to know who I am

I think the D and the D5 should be switched around in the verses. But that's just me, sounds better
