 The variations of D chords above are not different other than the voicings, which in
 country songs is an integral part of the song as most country songs use very popular
 and usually overused chord patterns and so country musicians have to concentrate on
 their voicings to bring a sense of originality to the song.

From  the moment that we met
 My world was turned  around
/4
 Upside down
To  some degree I still regret
  (1) /4
 My memory for keeping you around
Girl  I thought that you  were mine
 But my broken  hearts been shattered
One  too many times
 And I don’t want to see  you anymore
I’m  just not that strong
 I love  it when you’re here,
 But I’m better  when you’re gone
 I’m certain  that I’ve given and oh how  you can take
 There’s no  use in you looking
 There’s nothing left  for you to break
 Baby  please release  me
  Em7sus /  (REPEAT INTRO)
 Let my heart rest in pieces
 In the next verse, the electric guitar in the background is playing around on
 some suspensions in a small riff which is chordally derived from the on we heard
 in the intro which means that if you like you CAN get away with a Bm7sus2 instead of
 Bm7, but only if you are really being back by a band!
Someone  let you down again
 So you turn  to me
 Your convenient  friend
Oh  but I know what you’re doing
 And what you hope  to find
 I’ve seen it a thousand  times
Oh  the fire we  had  before
 Are  now just bitter ashes
 Left scattered  on the floor
 And I don’t want to see  you anymore
I’m  just not that strong
 I love  it when you’re here,
 But I’m better  when you’re gone
 I’m certain  that I’ve given and oh how  you can take
 There’s no  use in you looking
 There’s nothing left  for you to break
 Baby please release  me
 (careful below as they play one bar less than you would 'feel' before the solo!)
 Let my heart  rest  in  pieces
  Yeaaahh...................
 And I don’t want to see  you anymore
I’m  just not that strong
 I love  it when you’re here,
 But I’m better  when you’re gone
 I’m certain  that I’ve given and oh how  you can take
 There’s no  use in you looking
 There’s nothing left  for you to break
 Baby please release  me
 We both know  that you  don't need  me
 Let my heart  rest  in  pieces
 Here again we see the intro motif reappear, this time however it is best to play it chordally
 as follows with the chords changing in rhythm to the riff:
  BAR 1 2 3 4
  |Bm7sus2 |  Bm7sus2 (3)|  Bm7sus2 |  Bm7sus2 (3)|  x2
 You should be able to see that the motif is all that is changing between these chords but by
 presenting it like this it provides a harmonically pleasing voice!
 You can also get away with playing it as in the intro of course, depending on whether you want
 to finish it loudly or delicately!
