In the verses and the choruses: D alternates usually with Gmaj9 F# alternates usually with F#7 Listen to the track for pattern, the chords alternate only by taking the index finger off the frets. It's fairly straightforward. I wrote the song down with the chords in fixed places so you could get a feeling of how the lyrics are phrased, hope it helps.
