Are these strumming patterns correct?

[Intro]
 
Fmaj7   Bb/F   Fmaj7   Bb/F
 
[Verse 1]
  Fmaj7
I don't know why I'm frightened
  Bb/F
I know my way around here
    Fmaj9                                  Ebmaj7
the cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here
      Bbmaj7
yes a world to rediscover
        Gm7
but I'm not in any hurry
      Eb   Bb    C
and I need a moment
 
[Verse 2]
    Fmaj7                      Bb/F
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
    Fmaj9                           Ebmaj7
The atmosphere is thrilling here as always
         Bbmaj7
feel the early morning madness
         Gm7
feel the magic in the making
    Fmaj7                 Bb/C       F
yes everything's as if we never said goodbye
 
[Verse 3]
     Fmaj7
I've spent so many mornings
     Bb/F
just trying to resist you.
     Fmaj9                                 Ebmaj7
I'm trembling now, you can't know how I've missed you
           Bbmaj7
Missed the fairytale adventures
        Gm7
in this ever-spinning playground
        Eb    Bb   C
we were young to-ge-ther
 
[Verse 4]
    Fmaj7
I'm coming out of makeup
    Bb/F
the lights already burning
    Fmaj9                             Ebmaj7
not long until the cameras will start turning
        Bbmaj7
and the early morning madness
        Gm7
and the magic in the making
    Fmaj7                 Bb/C       F
yes everything's as if we never said goodbye
 
[Bridge]
Am7             Dm7
I don't want to be alone
Am7               Dm7
that's all in the past
C                   Dm7
this world's waited long enough
Am        Dm      C7
I've come home at last
 
[Verse 5]
    Fmaj7
And this time will be bigger
    Bb/F
and brighter than we knew it.
   Fmaj7                           Ebmaj7
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it.
        Dm7
Could I stop my hand from shaking,
          Gm7
has there ever been a moment
        Eb   Bb      C
with so much to live for
 
[Verse 6]
    Fmaj7
The whispered conversations
   Bb/F
in overcrowded hallways,
   Fmaj7                           Ebmaj7
so much to say, not just today but always
           Dm7
We'll have early morning madness,
           Gm7
We'll have magic in the making
     Fmaj7                 Bb/F       Bdim7
yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye.
 
[Outro]
Fmaj7                  Gm9              Bb/F  F
Please don't ever, ever make me say goodbye
