100% accurate note-for-note correct version

this should be an upstrum, and if you listen to the song you can hear
this chord being strumed lightly to lead into the next progression.

CHORUS (listen to the song for strumming patterns):
[G]Whispers in the [D]dark, steal a [A]kiss and you'll break a [D]heart
Pick up your [G]clothes and curl your [D]toes, learn your [A]lesson, leave me [D]whole
Spare my [G]shins for the [D]ark, I was too [A]slow to [D]depart
I'm a [G]cad but I'm not a [D]fraud, I'd set [A]out to serve the [D]lord
[A]...And my [D]heart, was [G]colder when you'd [D]gone
[A]...And I lost my [D]head, but [G]found the one that I [D]loved
(chords shown below for last line of chorus)
Under the suuuuuun, under the suuuuuuuuuuuuun..

after that line you can hear the last D chord being played around with,
then it goes back to the pre-chorus but it's strummed & palm-muted
with a slight variation of chords. Once again listen for the strumming
pattern, this is just a basic structure:
