 So song structure goes like this
 
 intro x2
 verse x9
 chorus x2
 verse x3
 chorus x4 <<<<<<< with fills
 bridge x2
 chorus x2 <<<<<<< with fills
 verse x4
 chorus x4 <<<<<<< with fills
 bridge x2
 chorus until finish <<<<<<< with fills
 
 Some fills for the 2nd and 4rd bars you could play
 * Bm7 or Bm9 chords
 * double stop the A & D strings between the 7th & 9th fret
 * Em to F#m chord, each strummed 2 or 4 times
 * Bm chord on 2nd fret with E & F# bass, each strummed 2 or 4 times
