Chicago

I couldn't find any lyrics, let alone chords for this online, 
so I figured I'd do it all here.
Standard tuning, no capo. Not sure about the C#sus2 chord though - 
please comment with a suggestion if you find it weird too. 
Other than that I'm fairly certain this is 
spot-on perfect. This is my first tab/chord thing, 
so let me off for little innacurracies!
I did a guitar tutorial for this song on youtube, 
here's the link:

Intro

E-A5

Verse

E*                 E*/B  E*/A
Crushing dreams and crooked fault, 
E                  E/B  E/A
Trap me in a crowded parking lot, 

E     E/D#         D    A   
I feel the tide is turning, 

C#sus2                       E
The ending chapter starts to fade, 
                          Dadd9  Gadd9
Do I really belong here anymore, anyway?

E                 B/F#   
I can’t sleep on nights like these, 
        C#sus2
stuck in Chicago staring at the ceiling, 
A/E
I’m looking for something to believe in. 
E          
Walk these city streets, 
        B/F#
do you remember me, remember when, 
C#sus2
when I was all that you needed, 
A/E
Chicago I’m leaving.


E*             E*/B   E*/A
I count my memories of you, 
E*             E*/B   E*/A
empty bottle midnight rendezvous, 
E*    E*/D#  D     A
outside, insides burning.
C#sus2         E          Dadd9   Gadd9
Do I really belong here anymore, anyway?

E                 B/F#   
I can’t sleep on nights like these, 
        C#sus2
stuck in Chicago staring at the ceiling, 
A/E
I’m looking for something to believe in. 
E          
Walk these city streets, 
        B/F#
do you remember me, remember when, 
C#sus2
when I was all that you needed, 
A/E          C#  B
Chicago I’m leaving.

B E
I'm leaving

Interlude:

E - A5 - C#sus2 - E - B (Crescendo on the B)

E                 B/F#   
I can’t sleep on nights like these, 
        C#sus2
stuck in Chicago staring at the ceiling, 
A/E
I’m looking for something to believe in. 
E          
Walk these city streets, 
        B/F#
do you remember me, remember when, 
C#sus2
when I was all that you needed, 
A/E
Chicago I’m leaving.

Repeat last chorus until you're dead from the awesome, then play:

E - A5

Good luck!
