CHORD KEY
 Cadd2- x32030
 D/B- x20032
 G/C- x30033
 Dsus4- xx0233
 Em7- 022030
TIPS:
1.  For slash chords, the first letter is the main chord, the second letter is the bass note.
2.  The changes between G and D/B look confusing at times because I tried to line it up 
the correct lyrics;
just understand that each chord is 2 beats and that should make it easier.
3.  The chorus looks confusing too; it's just Cadd2 (4 beats), Em7 (2 beats), and G (2 
till you get to the D (4 beats).
