Same thing except the first time through strum the E MajorE chord once
"and it is easy when youre older to figure out the things that..." and then start strumming the A augmentedA chord
after that you just play normally until he goes
"and it is easy when youre older to figure out the things that do and do not work" the second time
you strum the E MajorE chord once and switch to this nifty riff below
Nifty Riff aka bridge thing:
mccafferty songs dont always have very clear distinctions between song parts
