What you don't understand is
(strum
           Dm      Bb   F
I'd x x  Grenade x ya
          C      Dm    Bb F
I'd x x hand x Blade x ya  

# repeat this. C change to C at the words front and do

(C)             Bb                     C 
Oh, oh, I would go through all of this pain,
        F                 A         Dm - C
Take a bullet straight through my brain!

Bridge ( you can choose to strum or pluck. I recommend a duet where one strums and the other plucks)

Gm
  If my body was on fire,
Dm
  Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames.
Gm
  You said you loved me, you're a liar,
            A
'cause you never, ever, ever did, baby!

# Then pluck in the same pattern as the verse while playing Dm x2 Bb and then do 
G - - - -|
C 0 - - -|
E 2 - - -|
A - - - -|

Chorus

The C chords in the chorus on "oh" and "yes" should be B flats. Other than that it's good. :)

About this song: Grenade

According to the Grenade Songfacts, Mars is so desperate to impress his hard-to-please girl on this song, that he assures her he would catch a grenade for her, along with other assorted foolhardy acts. The original inspiration for this track came from a songwriter friend of his, Benny Blanco.
