Guitar chords with lyrics

Song: Ivy
Album: Blonde
Artist: Frank Ocean

I'm not 100% on these chords, but this just how I play it.
Lyrics from genius.com
Listening to the song while playing, as always, would probably be super helpful!

I usually pick the root note with my thumb
and use my other fingers to pluck the rest of the chord.

Chorus:
Cmaj7                 Dm
 I thought that I was dreaming
                   Am          Dm
 When you said you loved me
                 Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
                    Dm
 I had no chance to prepare
                    Am      Dm
 I couldn't see you coming
                 Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
         Dm            Am
 I could hate you now
                       Dm
 It's quite alright to hate me now
Cmaj7                   Dm
 When we both know that deep down
                   Am                Dm
 The feeling still deep down is good


Verse 1:
Cmaj7/G                 Bbmaj7/F
 If I could see through walls I could see you're faking
Cmaj7/G              Bbmaj7/F
 If you could see my thoughts you would see our faces
Cmaj7/G            Bbmaj7/F                   Dm
 Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then
                  Cmaj7
 We didn't give a fuck back then
           Em
 I ain't a kid no more
Dm                   Em
 We'll never be those kids again
               Cmaj7           Dm
 We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then
Cmaj7/G        Bbmaj7/F
 Back then
                  Cmaj7/G
 No matter what I did
                   Bbmaj7/F       Cmaj7/G
 My waves wouldn't dip back then
            Bbmaj7/F
 Everything sucked back then
         Dm
 We were friends


Chorus:
                      Cmaj7
 I thought that I was dreaming
                   Cmaj7/A      Dm
 When you said you loved me
                 Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
                    Dm
 I had no chance to prepare
                    Cmaj7   Dm
 I couldn't see you coming
                 Cmaj7/G
 It started from nothing
         Bbmaj7/F
 I could hate you now
Cmaj7/G                Bbmaj7/F
 It's quite alright to hate me now
Em/B                   C
 But we both know that deep down
     Em/B          Am                Dm
 The feeling still deep down is good


 Verse 2:
Cmaj7/G  Bbmaj7/F
  In the halls of your hotel
Cmaj7/G        Bbmaj7/F
 Arm around my shoulder so I could tell
Em/B                      C           Em/B       Dm
 How much I meant to you...meant it sincere back then
                Em
 We had time to kill back then
             Cmaj7        Dm
 You ain't a kid no more
                      Am         Dm
 We'll never be those kids again
              Cmaj7         Dm
 It's not the same, ivory's illegal
                 Am   Dm
 Don't you remember?
              Cmaj7/G
 I broke your heart last week
         Bbmaj7/F                   Cmaj7/G
 You'll probably feel better by the weekend
        Bbmaj7/F
 Still remember, had you going crazy
 Cmaj7/G
 Scream my name
     Bbmaj7/F             Em
 The feeling deep down is good


Chorus:
Cmaj7                 Dm
 I thought that I was dreaming
                   Am       Dm
 When you said you loved me
                 Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
                    Dm
 I had no chance to prepare
                  Am     Dm
 Couldn't see you coming
                     Cmaj7/G
 And we started from nothing
        Bbmaj7/F       Cmaj7/G
 I could hate you now
                 Bbmaj7/F
 It's alright to hate me now
Cmaj7              Dm
 We both know that deep down
                   Am                Dm
 The feeling still deep down is good


Outro:

Cmaj7/G                  Bbmaj7/F
 All the things I didn't mean to say
          Cmaj7/G    Bbmaj7/F
 I didn't mean to do
Cmaj7                         Am
 There were things you didn't need to say
        Cmaj7     Dm
 Didn't need to...need to
         Cmaj7/G
 I could dream all night,
 Bbmaj7/F        Cmaj7/G   Bbmaj7/F
 Dream all night
         Cmaj7/G
 I could drive all night
 Bbmaj7/F         Cmaj7/G   Bbmaj7/F
 Drive all night
 Cmaj7/G
