OK. Here's a single chorus, structured AABA
(Obliques are bar lines, every beat is given a chord):
Intro:
AADD/AAAA/AADD/EEEE
A section (repeat once, noting different chords in last bar second time):
AADD/AADD/AADD/AAEE/ AADD/AAAA/BBBB/EEEE/
AADD/AAAA/AADD/EEEE/ DDDD/AAF#mF#m/AAEE/ 1: AAEE/
2: AAAA/
B Section:
EEEE/EEEE/AADD/AAAA/ EEEE/EEEE/EEEE/EEEE?
A section reprise:
AADD/AADD/AADD/AAEE/ AADD/AAAA/BBBB/EEEE/
AADD/AAAA/AADD/EEEE/ DDDD/AAF#mF#m/AAEE/AAAA/
Yes, it's very Buddy Hollyish.
Hope that helps,
JN

Not sure how it happened, but I was thinking of "Please Don't Tease". My suggested chords (I could make a couple of slight improvements after consideration) are for that song!
I wasn't near a guitar at the time...
