So I basically just took this chording from someone's that was already up. 
But I noticed that a lot of David Choi's songs use different chords than normal, 
so I thought I'd add in some tabs to show what chords he really uses in his songs.
E  |---E0------Abm-0--------F#m-0--------B0------A0-----C#m-0----|
B  |---0-------0---------0--------0------0------0----|
G  |---9-------4---------2--------8------6------6----|
D  |---9-------4---------2--------9------7------6----|
A  |---7-------x---------x--------9------7------4----|
E  |---0-------4---------2--------7------5------x----|
Also, he does a quick transition from his A chord to his  F#mchord. I looks like this:
E  |----A0--------Abm-0-------F#m-0----------------|
B  |----0---------0--------0----------------|
G  |----6---------4--------2----------------|
D  |----7---------4--------2----------------|
A  |----7---------x--------x----------------|
E  |----5---------4--------2----------------|
When he's using the Abm as a transition chord [only strumming it once on the 4th
beat] I marked it with a star[*] to make it a little bit easier to understand. I'd hope you 
can figure it out without it, but if it helps, there ya go :P
[Verse]
EI'm just listening to the Bclock
Go ticking, I am Abmwaiting
As the time goes,A  
by...
EI think of you
With every bBreath I take

I just wanna lC#move you all my lAife.
I normally wouldn't Esay this,
but I just cant conAbmtain it.
I want you here C#mforever
Right here bAmy my side.
End on an E if you want, I don't know if he resolves it or not though.
hope it helps a bit :)

So I basically just took this chording from someone's that was already up.

But I noticed that a lot of David Choi's songs use different chords than normal,

so I thought I'd add in some tabs to show what chords he really uses in his songs.

E Abm F#m B A C#m

E |---0-------0---------0--------0------0------0----|

B |---0-------0---------0--------0------0------0----|

G |---9-------4---------2--------8------6------6----|

D |---9-------4---------2--------9------7------6----|

A |---7-------x---------x--------9------7------4----|

E |---0-------4---------2--------7------5------x----|

F#m

Also, he does a quick transition from his A chord to his chord. I looks like this:

A Abm F#m

E |----0---------0--------0----------------|

B |----0---------0--------0----------------|

G |----6---------4--------2----------------|

D |----7---------4--------2----------------|

A |----7---------x--------x----------------|

E |----5---------4--------2----------------|

When he's using the Abm as a transition chord [only strumming it once on the 4th

beat] I marked it with a star[*] to make it a little bit easier to understand. I'd hope you

can figure it out without it, but if it helps, there ya go :P
