Great tab. maybe use the chord D7sus4(000010-basically pull off your middle and ring fingers when playing Am) instead of the Am/G chord. sounds a little better.

Don't agree with last post, it's definitely a G bass to the Am, (although the tabber's caption says hammer on the top string when it should say bottom string) most of the chords are right, if not always positioned that well on the right lyric. At the end of what is marked as the pre -chorus the G goes to Gsus4 before the C of the chorus. I also think the chords are slightly wrong on the bridge. I think it stays on that second Dm, with a Dm/C on the last beat before 'Funny you're the broken one' and then continues on Dm. The rest of the sequence being: Dm - F - Am, followed by Dm - F - G There's also another Gsus4 again before the chorus comes back in. Otherwise a good job.

Am/G is more suitble for me.
