I think that is it... if your playing on an acoustic guitar, I think it sounds better if 
play this part like this:
    C      G
and i know i know
        Am               G
what it feels like to be alone
          C      G
i say now i know i know
        Am                  G
what it feels like to be at home
       C      G
i say i like i like
   Am          G
stoping to say hello
              C          G
said its my life my life my life
Am                     G      C                     G
why can't we take this slow, why can't we take this slow
