Comments: The bit after the breaks involves hitting the 2nd on the D string, 
          open D, 3rd fret on the A, then 2nd fret on the A string. 
          If this can be done maintaining a C shape, all the better for the next verse.
          A little tricky vocally, on the verses you need to blend into the second set of C D Bm C chords.
          I've tried to place the chords over the Lyrics as best as I can. 
          Just listen to the track while learning.

Comments: The bit after the breaks involves hitting the 2nd on the D string,

open D, 3rd fret on the A, then 2nd fret on the A string.

If this can be done maintaining a C shape, all the better for the next verse.

A little tricky vocally, on the verses you need to blend into the second set of C D Bm C chords.

I've tried to place the chords over the Lyrics as best as I can.
