To correct the corrections; The G#m (minor) should really be G# (major) (466544) The note in the vocal melody is the 5 in that chord, minor clashes with the vocal melody.

Not sure if the gm is actually a gm but 466544 should help you get the chord right

Intro goes this way : Am C Words like violence Cm Break the silence F Come crashing in F Into my little world Am Painful to me Cm Pierce right through me F Can't you understand F Oh my little girl All I ever wanted F All I ever needed Am C Is here in my arms Dm F Words are very unnecessary Am G#m (466444) They can only do harm Bridge : Am C Vows are spoken Cm To be broken F Feelings are intense F Words are trivial Am Pleasures remain Cm So does the pain F Words are meaningless F And forgettable All I ever wanted F All I ever needed Am C Is here in my arms Dm F Words are very unnecessary Am G#m (466444) They can only do harm Strum : Dm F Am C Dm F Am C .... Till the end Enjoy the silence
