 Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt

 Through all the worry,i still hear your voice

 We used to be kids livin just for kicks
Am                                  C/B
 In cinema seats learning how to kiss
C
 Running through streets that were painted gold

 We never believed we'd grow up like this

 Tell me how cause I believe in something
Gsus4         Am   G
 I believe in us
Am                 C/B        C
 Tell me where the light goes down
                 F                      Am
 So even in the dark we can find our way out
                   F            C
 Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
F             Am
 I believe in us
F            C
I believe in something
Gsus4         Am
 I believe in us

Great tab, I think he plays that initial A minor chord with his pinky on the 8th fret on the high E string. Also I think the chord for the second last “I believe in us” in the song goes to that Gsus4 instead of an F

looks right to me

If you want to play with Spotify acoustic version you have to tune down half step and the put capo on 1st fret https://open.spotify.com/track/0GTPn99cNZRVl2Kv0bcwNI?si=6IMgWMsIS5alST115GFOlQ
