If I Lost The Best Thing Chords

---CAPO ON 2nd FRET---

If I Lost The Best Thing by Yael Naim is performed in a traditional french folk style in 3/4, a sort of waltz
with an alternating bass note followed by the upper notes played together in harmony.

Example: The Intro is the A chord, so you would play:

e|--------------------------------------|
B|-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2----2--2---|
G|-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2----2--2---|
D|-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2----2--2---|
A|--0-----------------0-----------------|
E|------------0----------------0--------| 

And so forth. Pretty much all the chords in the song are or can be played like this. Also I play E7 with 
an added high D because it sounds better, so E7 * is optional E7/D

Intro: A //

A          E7 *            
If I lost the best thing
      F#m E7 *
I ever had
D7
Because of me
A        E7 *
I was selfish
E7          F#m E7 *
Stupid, and blind
D7
How can it be

A              D Dm
That it's all ending
A                D   Dm
Now we can stop pretending
F#m  A   E7      D
It just faded so fast I think
A
I lost you

A           E7 *
If you were the best thing
      F#m E7 *
I ever had
D7
To blind to see
A       E7 *
We were happy,
          F#m  E7 *  D7        A
How can I find some peace in me
A                 D Dm
Cause we're both changing
A                        D Dm
It's not that we stopped caring
F#m    A      E7 *           D
It's just time that has made me grow
A
Apart from you

E7 *              A
Cause it's over, it's all over,
D              A
it's all over, it's over
E7  *             A
it's over, it's all over, 
Dm        A
it's over now
A           E7 *
If we loose the best thing
       F#m E7 *
We ever had
D7
If we forget
A         E7 *      F#m   E7 *
Just hold me here in your arms
D7
Like we just met
A          D Dm
We will be tender
A                      D Dm
and say that we'll be for ever
F#m     A       E7 *         D
And just hope it will last because
A
I found you
A                            D Dm
It's not that we've stopped fighting
A                      D Dm  F#m     A    E7 *    D
It's not that it's not hard just to stand hand in hand
             A
And always love you
 D            A
Because I love you
