Just figure out the strumming yourself, it's pretty easy.
ALSO: I couldn't figure out the chord name for one of them I was playing, so I named it 
(for D hammer on). All you do is play a normal D, and hammer on with your pinky on third 
Capo: 3rd fret
INTRO:
Cadd9, G, D, Dh
Cadd9, G, D(let ring)
VERSE:
Well growing Cadd9up never made much sense to me
But deaGling with this life I lead
And mCadd9aking oh so many plans
That neGver seem to come true in the end
And Cadd9yeah I know that we were young
But age doGesn't mean much when you're truly in love
I'll Cadd9hold on to that feeling that I always had
In hGopes that one day I will see you Cadd9again
I kGnow that one day I will see you Cadd9again
And I'll keep hoGlding my breath
CHORUS:
                  Cadd9               G                     DDh
So let's trace those steps back to where we first met
                  Cadd9                  G                  DDh
A place I'll never forget cause you and I we can not let
              Cadd9                G                        DDh
All this space between a perfect you and perfect me
                   Cadd9              G  D(let ring)
It's just so hard to believe that you're gone
VERSE:
I Cadd9tried my luck at so many things
I've sGeen enough joy to make me wanna sing
I've hit the hCadd9ighest of highs, the lowest of lows
Right nGow I'm sick and tired of being alone
And as I Cadd9trace those steps, the same very steps
That leGad up to the room where we once slept
I've got this Cadd9pain in my chest
Oh this pGain that's too deep to keep tight Cadd9lips
Oh so I'll keep hoGlding my breath
CHORUS
PRECHORUS:
And oGh my Cadd9God, this huDrts like hell
And hGow aCadd9m I supDposed to tell myself
That if I keGep on siCadd9nging my wDay through this
That one daG-----Cadd9-------y, I'll Dbe fine
One da-G----Cadd9-------y, I'll Dbe fine
A place I'll never forget cause you and I we can't let
