Lack of accuracy. Clearly wrong. I don't think that the beginning parts are down strokes. Instead, try the 10,11 together and the 12 right afterward with your thumb. Please don't take offense to this. I'm just trying to help.

u need to alternate the intro so its 12,11,10 all at one but 12,11 and then 10 and the same with the next one ---10----10----10- -11----11----11--- -12----12----12--- and then -11----11----11--- -12----12----12--- ---10----10----10-

I am totally in love with this song. But like Beyer said...the chords are D A G Bm
