Tune down to sound like the studio version. If you'd rather use a capo, do capo 4 and transpose it -5 or +7
The song follows the same chord progression as "Canon in D" by Johann Pachelbel, just like:
--Vitamin C's "Graduation"
--Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry"
--Blues Traveler's "Hook"
Note: This is a simplied version of how Maroon 5 play it.
The best version is Memories Acoustic or the official version.
