() - add this note when you play the chorus if you want to sound perfect.
Also, in this song Lights uses three different variations of the G chord, so in this tab the chord called G2 is not a real G2 chord. Of course all of these G chord variations sound pretty much the same, so you can play the song by just using one of them. I just wanted to include every little thing there is to know for all you fellow perfectionists. =)
