Bittersweet Symphony Chords

(ver. 1)
Smash
This is the version of Bittersweet Symphony sung by Megan Hilty which was played on the
TV show SMASH. This is probably my favorite cover of the song so I decided to figure out
the chords for it. This is my first time but I'm about 90% certain that this is correct 
(I have a good ear lol). If Bm7 is a struggle Bm works fine as well. Good luck and enjoy =]

Capo on 4th fret.

Intro: E   Esus| Bm7   A|

Try to make ends meet
         Bm7      A             E    Em7 Bm7 A
You're a slave to money then you die
              E        Em7  Bm7       A         E    Em7 Bm7 A

I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
          E        Em7         Bm7       A          E       Em7 Bm7 A
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
