Here is the timing for the Intro and the Verse.  "/" represents a slide and
"^" was placed under the downbeat (each "-" is a 32nd of the measure). Tempo
is about [a quarter note equals 90 Beat Per Minute].

(I have shortened the Chords names to better fit, so when seen below with the
words, refer [D to D] (duh), [Dmaj7 to D7], [Bm/D to BD], [Dsus4 to D4],
[Dadd2 to D2], and [2D is just a variation of D]):

NOTE: Where the fist letter of the chord is is about where the chord starts
in relationship to the word(s).  Get the strumming and timing down and listen
to the song if you are struggling with where the words go, but this should
really help.

NOTE: Once again, I have shortened chords, therefore, [D is still D], [Add4/E
is AE], and [G/D is GD]:
(for AE and GD, the low Db gives it a bad ring and doesn't sound good because
it's a good amount away from any of the other notes)
