The previous version was incomplete. This version contains all the lyrics and 
chords. I do not know
the picking pattern for the guitar during the verses, chorus, or bridge so I did 
not include it, I 
included the chords for strumming (rhythm).

Chords:
D6sus4:    X-X-0-7-8-7
Dmaj7sus2: X-X-0-9-10-9
D7:        X-X-0-5-7-5
G/D:       X-X-0-4-3-3
Gm/D:      X-X-0-3-3-3
Am:        X-0-2-2-1-0
D9:        X-5-X-5-5-2  or  X-5-4-5-5-X
Dm:        X-X-0-2-3-1
D:         X-X-0-2-3-2
Cadd9:     X-3-2-0-3-0    (Note: a regular C chord works fine instead)

\* = begin strumming
*/ = end strumming (start picking again)
