There are a few embellishments on the chords:
On the third line of the verse, the A is embellished by pinky on 4th string/4th fret (Asus2)
and the G is embellished by the forefinger on the 4th string/2nd fret (Gsus2)
On the word “clear” in the chorus the A is embellished by pinky on the 3rd string/4th fret
And on the next D there is a Dsus4
