Verse:
The only chord I'm hearing in the verse is a very affected/processed C#5, so I just
strum it as a sixth string root powerchord with an 8th note feel....
----------------------------------------------
Chorus:
In the chorus, instead of going in and figuring out the chords, I just pick the melody:
E-----------------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
D----------6-6---6-4----------------------------------------|
G-6-6-3-6-3----3----------6-3-6-3-6-3-6---3-----------------|
B---------------------------------------4-------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------------|
That being said, if you want a chord progression to strum, one that works (not
what they do) would be:
C#m
questions for questions
F#m
I've got a question
G#m
would you ever dance with me like that

Play me down my lover
Like we're under cover
Like we're in
Our freshmen year
Like all the girls and boys in school
Our anticipation
And our bad
Behavin'
It's like we learned our lesson
But conveniently forgot the rules
Questions
For questions
I've got a question:
Would you ever dance with me like that?

I've got a question:
Would you ever dance with me like that?
I don't want your lover
Like my younger brother
He's patronized another
But I think
It's serious this time
I don't want you fading
Acting like you hate me
It's just like all
Your paper cuts
That cut you in the coldest spots
