Dm7#5 is a difficult chord to play. I substitute the following two options:

1         0
1         3
0   and   3
0         3
1         3
1         0

Intro: I play D (7th fret) and then G (open) on G string to open, before chords. 
It's what she plays on piano.

For an optional finish, to match how the chords go an octave up on piano, I do this:

12--12
12--10
12--10
10--10
 x-- x
 x-- x

The bridge contains a progression of several chords simultaneously to add drama. I 
picked the ones that worked best with the melody, the ones closest to what's on 
piano, and ignored the string part as best I could.
