Instead of F#m and G#m, play F#m11 and G#m11. I will post 2 different versions of chords – the easy one and the complex but more closer to original one. It will be more clear once I show the chord finger positions. So instead of barring the fret using the index finger (which is what you normally do when playing barre chords), you just press the root note (on 6th or 6th string) and keep the index finger above the fret not touching it. The trick is to always keep the thinnest two strings (E and B) open. One such song that comes to mind is Yellow by the band Coldplay which incidentally uses similar set of chords. The song uses one trick or rather a form of chords that I have mostly seen used in English songs. But Ehsaan has done a lot of subtle variations to the chords that makes playing this song lot more difficult if you looking to sound like the recording track. In the key of E major scale, the song uses quite a few chords. The song Mitwa from the movie Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is another gem from Shankar Ehsaan Loy (SEL) camp.
