G/F# [200033]
D/F# [200233] - I've changed the D's in the chorus to D/F#'s
Dsus4 [xx0233] It's a very easy change from the Dsus4 to just
Em7 [022033] add that low E string for the D/F#.
A7sus4 [x02033] Thanks to UG member Delfius for the suggestion!
Cadd9 [032033]
G6 [020033]

@iJAMw/TAYSWIFT- You're right about the Em7! I already updated this morning (and a couple other changes.) Every chord starts sounding the same when I'm playing it over and over and over trying to figure things out! My fingers were so raw!! lol! But with fresh ears this morning, I could hear some subtle changes that need to be made.
Glad you like my Taylor Swift stuff:) I love her and I got to see her in concert a few weeks ago! It was incredible!! Anyways, thanks for the comment and it might take until Monday for the update to go through:( Thanks!!
