The Dm chord throughout is a simple, by-ear chord. Not sure what the real chord actually is, but will change the tab once I find out. :).

Is this strumming pattern correct?

Note - Verse 3 is technically only bassline but would follow the same chords
       as the first verse - you could play this verse muted.
 
 
[Intro]
A  A  Dmaj7  F#m  x4
 
 
[Verse 1]
A                         Dmaj7       F#m
I still have your picture on the wall
A                                 Dmaj7           F#m          A
I still have the nightmares where I would have to call you to calm down
 
   A  Dmaj7  F#m
A  A  Dmaj7  F#m N.C.
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                       Dmaj7        F#m
I still think about you all the time
A                      Dmaj7        F#m           A
When I step out of the shower I'm reminded of the night
                     Dmaj7         F#m
When we slept in the back of your car
A                      Dmaj7       F#m
And you left me with a pretty cool scar
 
 
[Instrumental]
A     Dm    D   Dm
 
 
[Chorus]
A
Did it hurt
        Dm
When I kicked you to the curb
D
Now I'm all alone
D                          Dm
I guess I'll never learn
 
 
[Verse 3]
A                             Dmaj7      F#m
Your purple sweater's sittin' in my room
A                        Dmaj7              F#m
I tried to wear it but I knew that it would smell like you
 
A  A  Dmaj7  F#m
A  A  Dmaj7  Dm
 
A                        Dmaj7        F#m
I saw you dancin' at the show tonight
A                         Dmaj7          F#m
I stood in the back and I think that we both know why
 
A  A  Dmaj7  F#m  x2
Bm  Dmaj7
 
[Chorus]
A
Did it hurt
         Dm
When I kicked you to the curb
D
Now I'm all alone
D                   D       Dm
I guess I'll never learn
 
 
[Verse 4]
A
And I lied
         Dm
When I took you on a drive
D
And I said I'd never speak to her
D                       D     Dm
I wish I woulda kept my word

Try instead A A Dmaj7 F#m. Best played at 5th fret, then 9th for the last chord.

I'm pretty sure the chorus is played as A, Aaug, D, Dm. Hope this helps!

I agree that the d min should be A Aug, but a C# Major works quite well also. Either way awesome job, thanks!!
