i find it works better if you add an F in the verses between the Dm and G to line up with "back" or equivalent

[I fell in love with this song after I saw it on Glee and I just had to figure out how to play. Most
people use F instead of Dm but I think it sounds better with Dm. So for the first verse (I walked across),
second verse (I came across), and both bridges (Oh simple thing), I use the strum DUD-UUUDUDU but It works with most strums like DDUUDU-DDUUDU. And then the chorus (And if you have a minute), I use for Dm (DUDUD-UUDD), then C (DUDD), and G (DUDD). Good luck trying to figure it out, but mostly just experience with different strums- the one you're most comfortable with is usually the best one.]
