Hi, this is my first contribution here and it's far from perfect, feel free to send corrections!
There are some parts of which I'm not too sure, especially that A7 in the chorus, but it sounded fine to me
even though I think it's not THE right chord.
All the Cadd9 chords can be swapped for simple C chords, it depends on what sounds better to you.
Enjoy!
Edit: guitaraddict44 got it right (thanks!), F#m fits best in the chorus, but I still prefer to keep an A7
in the second part. Also, I think F#m7 sounds even better, but once again that's up to your own preferences!
