The verses in the songs should be played softer and quieter and the Choruses can be played slightly louder, but still with a loose strumming pattern. Other than that it is pretty straightforward. There is no acoustic version of this song yet so this is simply the way I hear the original version. Comment if there are any improvements you may have.
