I suggest that the banging up until "...was I could" to focus on the 3rd string(g). verse 2 I think I could get away with saying only half what I say No I can’t give you up No I’m not gonna stop Chorus is kind of like verse 1, then a lot of open strings banging.

Feel free to comment or try to play along to verse 2. verse 4 OR AND verse 4 part2 d|-------------------------------------| d|--------------------------------------| d|--------------| b|---8---5---3-------8---5---3---5---3-| b|---8---5---3-------8---5---3---5---3--| b|--------------| g|---------------5---------------------| g|---------------5----------------------| g|---0---0---0--| D|-------------------------------------| D|---5---2---0-------5---2---0---2---0--| D|---0---0---0--| G|-------------------------------------| G|---------------5----------------------| G|---2---9---7--| D|-------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------| D|---2---9---7--| So its: verse 4: I don’t know what we’re afraid of verse 4 part2: no, no I don't mind verse 4 part2: oh, no I don't mind verse 4: If I fall in love to the sound of verse 4 part2: birds on the wing verse 4 part2: then kiss, I'm laughing I hope you get the gist by now. Chorus They know, but they’ll never know why They know, but they’ll never know why They know that I loved you but they don’t know why They know that I loved you but they’ll never know why It's kicking off -> verse 1* + verse 1² It's good doing slide on verse 1* I think that's about all I have to say about this song, I'm curious of hearing the opinions.
