F#m should be A#o7. Not as intimidating as the name makes it sound. Basically it's an A7 chord with an A# played on the A string. Leads perfectly to the Bm. Also, the Em's should all be Em7.

great song but something about the f#m and the bm sound funny maby its just me. anyway ill still give it 5 stars. happy jaming. broken g string

I think this is a little more accurate, though I'm no music expert. It seems to be the way Christian from Sugarland plays it if you watch a live performance. The only thing I'm not really sure about is whether it's an A#maj7 or A#m. Maybe someone with a better ear can figure it out. When playing the A, listen for the parts where it slides to an Asus2(?).
