Step 1
Begin with a G sharp. Play this with the third finger on the fourth fret.

Step 2
Play an A next with the second finger on the third string, second fret.
-
Step 3
Play a B with the fourth string, pressing down the fourth fret with your pinky finger.

Step 4
Pluck an A. This is played open on the A string. This one note needs to be distinctly plucked to set it apart from the other notes.

Step 5
Strum all of the other strings. Hear a noticeable difference in the sounds between the plucking and strumming. The strings that are strummed sound much more open, while the plucked bass string sound more muted.

Step 6
Finish the chorus with a D chord without the bottom E string on the word "me" at the end of the chorus. You first finger should be on an F sharp for this chord. Move back to the G chord progression with the words "come into you."

Step 7
