I recommend playing all the chords barred rather than open.
It sounds better and will help with muting in the strum pattern.

The B* chord in the pre-chorus is strummed once as a transition.
It coincides with the "and" of the 3rd beat in strum pattern "Pre-Chorus (last 2 lines)".
I tried to keep the strum patterns accurate, but it might not translate all that well to acoustic guitar.
