Based off the album version, just simple chords
You can hear a pulse in the song where the chords change, it's an odd rhythm with some syncopation but it
works. I tried to reflect where in a word the chord changes but it's just how I hear it- listen to the song,
get the rhythm of the chords and how they change down first, and then work on adding the lyrics would be
my advice. The lyrics are very loosely connected to the music in the verses of the song especially.
The strumming pattern I put in changes chords on beats 1, the & of 2, 5, and the & of 6. Repeats
resuming on the first chord when the 8-beat pattern is complete.
