(Into chorus again)

During the Chorus:

(The piano here is alternating between E and A, which you can get with your A

Major or A Minor at 5, strumming your A and D string. That little high piano riff

before the guitar comes in is C# and A; the C# is on the e string at fret9, the A

is on the b string at fret10. You can actually build a finger picking pattern on

this by barring at 7 and hitting your 3rd finger on the e string at 9, and your

pinky on the b string at 10. It's slightly uncomfortable. Leaving out the piano

part lets you hang out in an A Major at 5 and be readier for the chord shift up to B Major).
