anything is still wrong or unclear, do let me know!

[Picking Pattern]
As far as the picking pattern during the verses and chorus goes, this is what I hear:
E|-------------------------|---------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------|
B|-----------------4-------|----------------4----------|-----------------4-------|----------------4----------|
G|-----------4-----------4-|----------4-----------4----|-----------4-----------4-|----------4-----------4----|
D|--------4-----------4----|-------4-----------4-------|--------4-----------4----|-------4-----------4-------|
A|--2-----------2----------|---------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------|
E|-------------------------|-2-----------2-------------|--4-----------4----------|-0-----------0-------------|
B B/F# G#m7 Emaj9sus2
As far as I can tell, the pattern stays the same and the only thing that changes is the root note on the 5th/
6th string.

[Verse 1]
B B B/F# G#m7 Emaj9sus2
One day I believe that we'll be carried away by pretty horses
B
And the night will open wide
B B/F# G#m7 Emaj9sus2
We'll stretch our arms and float out in her river
B/F#
And your life would be my light
[Chorus]
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And in our love we find forgiveness
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And in our fear we learn to see
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And in my chains I saw us running
G#m7 B/F# B
Free as all the pretty horses in my dreams
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
B B B/F#G#m7 Emaj9sus2
Maybe it was planned when the angels spoke your name into existence
B
That our hearts would be entwined
B B/F#G#m7 Emaj9sus2
And only time and life and a little distance
B/F#
Until I could be with you
[Chorus]
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And in our love we find forgiveness
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And in our fear we learn to see
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And in my chains I saw us running
G#m7 B/F# B
Free as all the pretty horses in my dreams

[Bridge]
G#m F# E
And in this life change comes slowly
B B/F# E
There is time to be redeemed
G#m F# E
Any lie you told can be forgiven
B5 F#5 G#m7* Esus2
If you love enough to believe
B B/F# B
If you love enough to believe
[Outro]
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And we don't mind the weight we carry
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
We don't talk about no wasted years
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And I'll be right here to lean on if the livin' gets too heavy
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And the darkness comes a'snappin' at your heels
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
We don't mind the weight we carry
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
We don't talk about no wasted years
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
And I'll come runnin' fast as lightning if the livin' gets too heavy
G#m7 Emaj9sus2 B B/F#
Just like all the pretty horses in our dreams
G#m7 B/F# B
