play the 1st part of the verse like shown above, 
the second part is nearly the same, 
but there's a little difference in Dsus2.

                    E (022100@1)   Esus (022200@1)  Even though it's never there
                Dsus2 (xx0230@1)  Sorry if I'm not prepared   

   E/A (002100@1)name="chord_x02200@1">Asus2      E/A (002100@1)   Asus2 (x02200@1)       Dsus22. (xx0230@1) Is it hard to see the things you substitute
                     E (022100@1)         Esus (022200@1)  For me and all my thoughts of you
                   Dsus2 (xx0230@1)  It's eating me alive to leave you

Great song!!! Hope you have some fun to play!!!
