Cm is a barre chord.
I know the intro and verses up to the Em. it goes something like this:
G Cadd9 G D/F# ((the Em after: ))
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------5---------5-|
G|-----5-----5-------------7-------------5---5---------|
D|---------7-------5-----5-------------6-------6---6---|
A|-7-7---8-----7-7---5-5-------------6-----------6-----|
E|-8-----------8-----7---------------------------------|
and then it does something i can't quite put my finger on. look for updates.
