Waiting For My Real Life To Begin Cifras

This song is a lot about feel. You don't have to stick to the tab super closely. He often picks chords between
strumming, especially when he transitions from Cadd9 to D6/F# to G in the Intro. They Am7/G   is almost always
played as a hammer on after the G.
The Cadd9 in the Verse is played long and hammers on the D-String 2nd Fret.
