When playing the D switch between D and Dsus2 (xx0230).
You can hear this really well in the 2nd part of the intro.

[Verse 1]
 
   D
If you, if you could return
             A6
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
                    Cadd9
I'm sure I might be rude
 
But it's just your attitude
                 G
It's tearing me apart
 
It's ruining everything
      D
And I swore, I swore I would be true
                  A6
And honey, so did you
                            Cadd9
So why were you holding her hand
 
Is that the way we stand
                       G
Were you lying all the time
 
Was it just a game to you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              D
But I'm in so deep
                    A6
You know I'm such a fool for you
                               Cadd9
You got me wrapped around your finger
                      G
Do you have to let it linger
 
Do you have to, do you have to
                      D
Do you have to let it linger
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
      A6
Oh, I thought the world of you
          Cadd9
I thought nothing could go wrong
          G
But I was wrong, I was wrong
   D
If you, if you could get by
              A6
Trying not to lie
                         Cadd9
Things wouldn't be so confused
 
And I wouldn't feel so used
                      G
But you always really knew
 
I just wanna be with you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              D
And I'm in so deep
                    A6
You know I'm such a fool for you
                               Cadd9
You got me wrapped around your finger
                      G
Do you have to let it linger
 
Do you have to, do you have to
                      D
Do you have to let it linger
 
 
(Instrumental)
 
 
[Chorus]
              D
And I'm in so deep
                    A6
You know I'm such a fool for you
                               Cadd9
You got me wrapped around your finger
                      G
Do you have to let it linger
 
Do you have to, do you have to
                      D
Do you have to let it linger
