I listened to this song on YouTube while looking at the chords, and I don’t think he uses Am. I could be wrong, but I think it sounds better without it. I do recommend staying in the given key, but you do whatever works. I love this song btw! For me, I think it’s about self-harm, and wanting to hurt yourself. 🙂
Also, the chords here don’t have the second half of the song, but that part isn’t good on the ukulele, and it’s not that long.
