Open chords can be played during the verse instead of the above triad progression:
Verses modulate between Keys of G-D. Chorus in key of D.

Verse 1

It's hidden far away, though someday I may tell
The tale of mental tangle when into your world I fell
Without you now I wander, soaking, secretly afraid
But in your grasp the fears don't last, though some of them have stayed

Chorus 1

I wheeled around because I didn't hear what you had said
And saw you dancing with Elihu, up on Leemor's bed
And I was foggy, rather groggy, you helped me to my car
The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jar
        

Verse 2

And on the market stands unfolding, with all the willies and their wares
I shuffle by alert but numb to all the glances and the glares
I think of you unheeding all the times I raised my cup
It's now I know that you knew that I'd soon end up end up 

Chorus 2

I wheeled around because I didn't hear what you had said
And saw you dancing with Elihu, up on Leemor's bed
And I was foggy, rather groggy, you helped me to my car
The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jar

Bridge

You tricked me like the others, and now I don't belong
The simple smiles and good times seem all wrong

Chorus

I wheeled around because I didn't hear what you had said
And saw you dancing with Elihu, up on Leemor's bed
And I was foggy, rather groggy, you helped me to my car
The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jar
