Alkaline Trio - This Could Be Love

this is a acoustic version of alkaline trio’s “this could be love” .
you can play the standard chords but i would suggest to add a high B & E note
( string 5 & 6 ) to every chord ( exept for the F#m ) . play the chords like this :

C#m ( x46600 )
Aadd9 ( 002200 )
F#m ( 2442xx )
B ( x24400 )
E ( 024400 )
