Okay, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD NEWS! 
I am able to play "What About Now" and "Leave Out All The Rest" in sync with the song!!! Wheee!!! Had a hard time getting the strumming right. Chords are almost perfect now, and I finally got the strumming pattern. So this post will be all about the songs. I'll try to record my playing and upload here. HOPEFULLY. I'm using a slightly different way of fretting, cos my little finger isn't strong enough. I use the simpler G major (320003) instead of the full G major (320033); and xx3210 instead of x33210 for F major.
Anyway, the strumming.
|D---/D-DU/-U-U/DUDU| Basic strumming patterns for both song.
|D-D-/D-DU/-U-U/DUDU| Sometimes I use this when I'm playing the bridge.
Chords. I did some changes to the chords to make it simpler. 
Leave Out All The Rest
Am - C - F - Dm
Verse:
                     Am                           C
i dreamed i was missing, you were so scared
                        F                              Dm
but no one would listen coz no one else care
          Am                                   C
after my dreaming i woke with this fear
            F                                Dm
what am i leaving, when i'm done here
           F                                  Dm
so if your asking me i want you to know
           Am                                             C
when my time comes, forget the wrong that i've done
         F                                       Dm

                  Am
leave out all the rest
          C                           F
don't be afraid, i've taken my beating
                        Dm
i've shared what i made
                     Am                            C
i'm strong on the surface, not all the way through
                   F                                    Dm
i've never been perfect, but neither have you
           F                                  Dm
so if your asking me i want you to know

when my time comes, forget the wrong that i've done
         F                                                Dm

                     Dm                                     Am
forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
                            C                                                 F
pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
                        Dm
i can't be who you are...
           Am                                             C
when my time comes, forget the wrong that i've done
                  F                                      Dm
help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
           Am                                            C
and don't resent me and when your feeling empty
                     F                                    Dm
keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
                    Am
leave out all the rest
                     C                                        F
forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
                            Dm                                               Am
pretending someone else could come and save me from myself
                         C
i can't be who you are...
F                         Dm
i can't be who you are...
What About Now
Am                                    Em
      Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
Am                                         Em
      From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Am                                     Em
      Can we see beyond the scars
                              D
And make it to the dawn?
Am                                      Em
      Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
Am                                           Em
      The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
Am                                          Em
      For all the things that never died,
                                   D
To make it through the night,
                     F
Love will find you.
                   C
What about now?
                   Am
What about today?
                      G
What if you're making me
                    Dm
all that I was meant to be?
                  C              Am
What if our love never went away?
                 G
What if it's lost behind 
                         Dm
words we could never find?
             C                F
Baby, before it's too late,
                   Am       Em   
What about now?
Am                                          Em
      The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
Am                                        Em
      This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Am                                   Em
      Shadows fade into the light.
                    D
I am by your side,
                         F
Where love will find you.
                   C
What about now?
                   Am
What about today?
                      G
What if you're making me
                    Dm
all that I was meant to be?
                  C              Am
What if our love never went away?
                 G
What if it's lost behind 
                         Dm
words we could never find?
             C                F
Baby, before it's too late,
                   Dm
What about now             
                        Am
Now that we're here,
                         C
Now that we've come this far,
       Em
Just hold on.
Dm                             Am
      There is nothing to fear,
               F
For I am right beside you.
       Dm
For all my life,
        Am
I am yours.
                   Am
What about now?
                   C
What about today?
                      F         
What if you're making me 
                    Dm
all that I was meant to be?

What if our love never went away?

Baby, before it's too late,
             C                Am
Baby, before it's too late,
                  Em
What about now?
