Strumming

Is this strumming pattern correct?

Play E5 as x-x-2-4-0-0, for other chords UG defaults are good.
 
Chords in (braces) hold prom previous lines, they are for better tonic orientation.
 
 
[Intro]
E5  G6  CM7  Bsus4  (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 E5        G6            CM7
    I was alone, falling free,
          Bsus4          E5
trying my best not to forget,
(E5)             G6                   CM7
what happened to us, what happened to me,
              Bsus4       E5
what happened as i let it slip.
(E5)     G6                       CM7
I was confused by the powers that be,
           Bsus4            E5
forgetting names and faces,
(E5)    G6                 CM7
Passers by were looking at me,
           Bsus4
as if they could erase it.
 
 
[Chorus]
 E5  G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
(E5) G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
 
 
[Verse 2]
(E5)   G6                     CM7
I was alone, staring over the ledge,
          Bsus4          E5
Trying my best not to forget,
(E5)          G6                 CM7
all manner of joy, all manner of glee,
        Bsus4      E5
and our one heroic pledge.
 
(E5)               G6                     CM7
How it mattered to us, how it mattered to me,
        Bsus4         E5
and the consequences.
(E5)     G6                          CM7
I was confused, by the birds and the bees,
           Bsus4
forgetting if i meant it.
 
 
[Chorus]
 E5  G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
(E5) G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
(E5) G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
(E5) G6    CM7            Bsus4            Dsus2
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
 
 
[Bridge]
(Dsus2)
       And the sex and the drugs and the complications.
 E5
       And the sex and the drugs and the complications.
 Dsus2
       And the sex and the drugs and the complications.
 E5
       And the sex and the drugs and the complications.
 
 
[Chorus]
 E5  G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
(E5) G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
(E5) G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
(E5) G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
(E5) G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
(E5) G6    CM7            Bsus4            E5
     Baby,     did you forget to take your meds?
 
 
[Outro]
(E5)       G6            CM7
    I was alone, falling free,
          Bsus4          E5
trying my best not to forget.

All good, except that Am and Em should be one chord: B. There are tons of ways to play this song, and they all sound good as long as you play (alterations of) these chords.

How can this be rated with 5 stars? This is almost completely wrong. The advice by Dragonfly88 helps a bit but it's still not completely accurate. Also a part of the bridge is missing. I guess it can't be played accurately in standard tuning. Is this some acoustic version or something? It clearly is not the album/single version.

dragonfly is right
