Is this strumming pattern correct?

[Intro]
          C       E
You're my painkiller
        Am         Fmaj7
When my brain gets bitter
            Dm
You keep me close
            Fmaj7  E
You keep me close
 
 
[Verse 1]
      Cmaj7
I got front row seats for the park side livin'
 E
Feel like the one but I'm one in a billion
Fmaj7               E
Teenage cynical and I don't really know
C
What's the point of living if my heart gets broken?
E
Driving on the road, waiting for head-on collision
Fmaj7                                    E
Springtime funeral, I miss you but I'd rather be alone
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C.
To keep me from
Cmaj7
Heartbreaks, headaches
 
The doctor says I' m diagnosed with
Cmaj7
Shit days, mistakes
              Fmaj7
But I'll be fine
              E
But I' ll be fine
 
 
[Chorus]
                 Cmaj7
' Cause you're my painkiller
        E
When my brain gets bitter
            Fmaj7
You keep me close
               E
When I've been miserable
       Am
And it takes forever
          C
To let my brain get better
            Fmaj7
You keep me close
            E
You keep me close
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
Window seats as the plane starts leavin'
E
Miss those streets where my knees were bleedin'
Fmaj7
Homesick veteran
  E
I left my bed again
 
Oh, looking for
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
Heartbreaks, headaches
 
The doctor says I' m diagnosed with
E
Shit days, mistakes
              Fmaj7
But I'll be fine
              E
But I' ll be fine
 
 
[Chorus]
                 C
'Cause you're my painkiller
        E
When my brain gets bitter
            Fmaj7
You keep me close
               E
When I've been miserable
       Am
And it takes forever
          C
To let my brain get better
            Fmaj7
You keep me close
            E
You keep me close
 
 
[Bridge]
C                                      Fmaj7
  Please, never leave me 'cause I' m barely holdin' on
              Dm                Fmaj7
You give me a reason to keep on breathin'
 
 
[Chorus]
                 C
'Cause you're my painkiller
        E
When my brain gets bitter
            Fmaj7
You keep me close
               E
When I've been miserable
       Am
And it takes forever
          C
To let my brain get better
            Fmaj7
You keep me close
            E
You keep me close

Feel like the E in the 4th line of the chorus should be A#. Good tab!
