Capo 6th
 
C and C/G interchange pretty regularly to taste
Any time a D chord is mentioned, it's one of the Dsus chords
 
Dsus2 - x-0-0-2-3-0  -or-  x-5-4-0-3-0
--the latter sounds better to me most of the time
 
[Intro]
C   G   Dsus2

  Some things were never meant to last

                    C/G
You hurled us into space
                       D/A
I'll never make that trip
 
C/G                     D/A
Tears all rusted on my face
                        C/G

I think Patty plays this in GGDGBD, an Open G tuning she uses a lot on other songs (Mary, When It Don't Come Easy, Truth #2, plus a bunch of others). The chords here all seem correct but it'll sound closer to her version if you try them in that tuning. :)
