simplicity of the song they are not strummed.

GSo soft, so suddenly, so that I cannot breathe

For the chorus (and if you're playing chords over the verse), enunciate each chord with
single downward stroke and let it ring. These chords may not be 100% but the reason
if what I'm playing is Dsus or Dmaj7, but refer to the chord list at the bottom.
CHORUS
DOh I'm hanging high (oh im hanging high),
DsusOh won't you let me down (Oh won't you let me down)
Dmaj7I'm back where I started at, (back where i started at)
Dmaj7you know I'm a little lost (y'know i'm a little lost)
DAnd when it hurts the most, (when it hurts the most)
DsusI'll push a little more (push a little more)
Dmaj7I'm back where I started at,(back where i started at)
Dmaj7you know I'm a little lost
Repeat for the next verse and chorus, I believe the song finishes as it began, strumming
Bm until fadeout.
