The Script Breakeven Acoustic How to play

As requested, some notes and examples of how I play the song. I could have gone on for hours with all the little subtleties of little things I do instead of basic strumming and doing this actually made me realise just how inconsistent I am with my playing. Its all good in the end :)

Song: Breakeven
Artist: The Script
Album: The Script (2008)

Intro
D# A F G *4

G F A# C
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing G F A# C
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in G F A# C
Cos I got time while she got freedom G F A# C
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
