G : 3 5 5 4 3 3
A:  5 7 7 6 5 5

Or you can play the open chords too, I just the think the barre chords sound more like
original.

Strumming pattern:
For the verses strum once for each chord (strum the c’s where I instruct you to), strum
for the first chorus part then go back to single strumming for the next verse but once
reach “feels so far away” start strumming until the end.. after the final chorus strum 
G, A, C twice kinda confusing but if you follow along with kris allen you should be fine.
