Is this strumming pattern correct?

[Verse 1]
C                 F/C C     Am7
  We're taking it slowly
                 F/C C
I'm afraid to be lonely
       F/C  C
Nobody told me
     Am7                               F/C         C
It's harder than I thought to tell the truth
                        F/C C      Am7
It's gonna leave you in pieces
                    F/C C
All alone with your demons
                   F/C  C
And I know that we need this
    Am7                            F/C
But I've been too afraid to follow through
 
[Chorus]
C/G                     F     C/G
    Hold me close and I won't leave
          Am7  G                  F C/G
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
                     F     C/G
So much to say but I don't speak
      Am7   G             F    C/G
And I hate that I let you stop me
          Am7   G                 F C/G
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
 
[Verse 2]
C                      F/C  C       Am7
  Don't know where the time went
                   F/C C
Stuck in the wrong mindset
              F/C   C
And I let the rules bend
         Am7                           F             C
When I know that all along they're made to break
                         F/C C        Am7
You got me searching for reasons
                F/C C
To keep me from leaving
                        F/C C
And that I have trouble breathing
  Am7                           F/C C F/C
I give myself another chance to stay
 
[Chorus]
C/G                     F     C/G
    Hold me close and I won't leave
          Am7  G                  F C/G
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
                     F     C/G
So much to say but I don't speak
      Am7   G             F    C/G
And I hate that I let you stop me
          Am7   G                 F C/G
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
 
[Bridge]
Dm                             Am7      C
   One day before you know it, you will see
Dm                            F
All of the pain and all the irony
Dm                               Am7      C
You'll feel the stinging and you think of me
          F
'Cause it hurts when you hurt
 
[Chorus]
C/G                     F     C/G
    Hold me close and I won't leave
          Am7  G                  F C/G
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
                     F     C/G
So much to say but I don't speak
      Am7   G             F    C/G
And I hate that I let you stop me
C/G                     F     C/G
    Hold me close and I won't leave
          Am7  G                  F C/G
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
                     F     C/G
So much to say but I don't speak
      Am7   G             F    C/G
And I hate that I let you stop me
          Am7   G                 F C/G
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody

I'm pretty sure the lyrics are "all the pain and all the irony" not harmony.

Yes....thank you! For my obsessive ears, this version has the nuances I was looking for. I have one minor tweak to suggest. I think (just guessing here by sound) in the chorus where you have that he progresses from Am7 - G - F - C/G, the “G” is played like this: |-0-| |-1-| |-0-| |-2-| |-x-| |-3-| I have no clue what the chord is called, but in the song it sounds like he’s keeping the core Am7 chord structure but just walking the bass note down to a G on the way to the eventual F.
