"Better"
I haven't figured out the exact variation he plays on these chords yet, but these are the chords he plays.
Loved watching him create this song, then play it!
Thank you Tyler!

Hi there! Great tab. Let's hope to find those variations, guess we could find out by watching his "Song writing 101" vlog that's about the creation of this song.
Just a slight correction though, you forgot the B on every one of those last chorus lines.
E B C#m A
I'm may lose my heart, but one day I'll be a star!
Thanks for your work!

If you want to sound it like he plays it in normal tuining you should play an open E on the 12th fret with the B and E open. Then play the same chord on the 7th fret and move to 9 and 5. In tab:
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
--13----8----9---6-------------------------
--14----9----9---7-------------------------
--14----9----x---7-------------------------
--12----7----9---5-------------------------

Incorrect tuning - his guitar is EBEAbe. Changes the whole thing. But these chords work for standard.
