Shawn's Actual Chord Voicings:
Like any performer, Shawn alternates between voicings of any given chord
substituting open and alternate notes into his chords for coloration. Sometimes he plays 
G
 with a high 
G-
(1st string, 3rd fret,) sometimes he voices it with an open 
E
 ringing. Etc etc. Same goes for 
B11
 and

Verse 3
(same as before)

She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her she's so pretty
But she'd be so much prettier if she smiled once in a while
Cause even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share on devils in this angel town

a final word:

(you'll have to figure out the coda on your own....lol)
