Tuning:

I always play the A as a bar chord because it sounds better and makes the bridge way easier to do (just slide up and down the frets). And the G# at the end of each line in the verses only gets one strum; it’ll make sense if you listen to the song. All bar chords are F#m, G, G#, and A Intro: A D E A G# Verse 1:
