Likewise, Am or Am7 are also interchangeable, seems ok still.

Picking Patterns:
-----------------
Trying to get the rhythm similar to the synth/piano
With the 3 strums after the bass note, the way I play it is using:
My index, middle + ring finger to pluck the strings whilst going
UP DOWN UP (using nails-side on DOWN pluck) and then just tap the strings after to mute.
Verses + Prechorus:
-------------------
Am Em G Am
e|---------------------------------2-2-2-x-----------------|
B|-----5-5-5-x-------8-8-8-x-------3-3-3-x------5-5-5-x----|
G|-----5-5-5-x-------7-7-7-x-------4-4-4-x------5-5-5-x----|
D|-----7-7-7-x-------9-9-9-x--------------------5-5-5-x----|
A|----------------7----------------------------------------|
E|--5-----------5-------------0-3-----------3-5----------3-| & Repeat
Chorus + Post-chorus lick: Pluck Staccato, don't let ring
--------------------------
Am Em G Am
e|------------------------2---2---------------|
B|--5---5------8---8------3---3------5---5----|
G|--5---5------7---7------4---4------5---5----|
D|--7---7------9---9-----------------7---7----|
A|-------------7---7--------------------------|
E|--5---5--------------0--3---3---3--5-3-5-3--| & Repeat
