these are the chords if you want to play this acoustically.

This is perfect, but barre chords can mostly be avoided with capo on 2nd fret with the verse, F E Am C and the chorus F Dm Am

I dont know if I'm not playing the Bm wrong, but every time I hit it it sounds slightly off. Maybe its that I'm using an electric (but not with an amp), maybe I need a capo, or may be I just suck. Other than that, great chords!
