D (xx0232@1)                  E7sus4 (020200@1)if i didn't know the difference,

G6 (320000@1)                           D (xx0232@1)living alone would probably be ok.

              E (022100@1)      F (133211@1)when i didn't know you yet,

D# (x43121@3)       Bb (x1333x@1) A5 (x022xx@1)name="chord_x1333x@1">Bb      C (x32010@1)C-9
