Verse 1 chords:
                Am            Am/G     D
Deep inside the heart of this troubled man
                      G           G/F#         Em
There's an itty bitty boy tugging hard at your hand
                 Am            Am/G      D
Born bitter as a lemon but you must understand
                                E
That you've been bringing me... joy
 
 
Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
And I'll only lie when you don't want the truth
I'm only frightened 'cause you finally gave me something to lose
And it's as loud as a thunderclap and you hear it too
But you've been bringing me...joy
 
 
Interlude: [Am - Am/G - D]
           [G - G/F# - Em]
           [Am - Am/G - D - E]
 
 
Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords]
Deep inside the heart of this crazy mess
I'm only calm when I get lost within your wilderness
Born crooked as a creek bed and come to confess
That you've been bringing me...joy
 
 
Verse 4: [use verse 1 chords]
And when I'm alive, I'm living for you
Another bluebird dying, but for singing the blues
And it's a heartfelt silly sort of bumbling tune
About how you're bringing me...joy
 
 
Outro: [repeat interlude chords]

Hey, it's not necessarily a correction, but at the end of each verse, you can insert Esus4 before E and it'll sound much better. Other than that, great job. :) EADGBe Esus4 022200

It sounds like at the end of each verse between "bringing me" and "joy" the bass has moved to E but the chord and vocals are still on D, then it all slides over to E. So it might be nice to write it as D/E E. (D/E is essentially Esus9(no5) so veverica is pretty close)
