Guitar chords with lyrics

Kygo feat. Maty Noyes - Stay (2015)
Chords 4/12-2015 by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E (Capo 3rd fret)

During verse 1 and 3, I pluck the chords something like this instead of strumming them (the x across
the strings is a light slap against the strings, kinda like "More Than Words" by Extreme):

      Am       C/E             F        C
   e|--------x-----------x-----------x-----------x--|
   B|-----1--x--1--------x--------1--x--1--------x--|
   G|-----2--x--0--------x--------2--x--0--------x--|
   D|-----2--x--2--------x--------3--x--2--------x--|
   A|--0-----x-----------x-----------x--3--------x--|
   E|--------x--0--------x-----1-----x-----------x--|
beat:  I     II    III   IV    I     II    III   IV
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Do the same thing with the Am, C, F, C and Am, C, Dm7, C progressions later in the song.

Strumming pattern during parts with drums (Dots represent sixteenth notes, the strokes in brackets are
light, optional strokes):
1  .  .  .  2  .  .  .  3  .  .  .  4  .  .  .
D    (D) U (D)(U) D    (D) U (D)(U) D    (D)(U)

[Verse 1]
Am        C/E              F        C
Thought I could leave you 'cause I felt my heart numbing
Am     C/E                  F           C
It hit so deep, I closed my eyes and I just took off running
Am        C/E               F            C
I turned around and saw the look on your face
     Am    C/E   F     C
So I stayed.......... stayed

[Verse 2]
Am    C              F         C
But I don't need you, and you should know that, baby
Am        C             Dm7         C
It'd take a miracle for you to really try and change me
Am    C                  F            C
And I feel sorry for the look on your face
     Am     C   Dm7   C
So I stayed.......... stayed

Interlude/chorus:
Am   C    F    C
Am   C    Dm7  C

Am   C    F    C
Am   C    Dm7  C

[Verse 3]
Am     C            F        C
You wanna leave her, don't wanna hurt nobody
Am      C                 Dm7             C
I don't believe a single word you say or that you're sorry
Am        C                F            C
Why can't I say no to the look on your face?
       Am   C   Dm7   C
i just stay.......... stay

[Bridge]
Am                C                 F              C
Push me away, you push me away, but I always stay, I always stay, yeah
Am                C                 Dm7            C
Push me away, you push me away, but I always stay, I always stay, yeah
Am                C                 F              C

Am                C                 Dm7            C
Push me away, you push me away, but I always stay, I always stay, yeah
         Am    C   F   C
But will you?...........
     Am    C   Dm7  C
Will you?...........
     Am    C   F   C
Will you?...........

So I stayed.......... stayed
