*play after D chord into G..This is just a variation of D,
as you can hear in the song. You're only changing one note.
Verses:
D * G Em A
We started out so brand new darling,
D * G Em A D * G
but now it seems that nothing can change your mind,
Em A D * G Em A D * G
I have have seen your city lights, but have you seen my country skies,
Em A D * G Em A
Watch the world go twirling by.
D * G Em A D * G Em A D * G
Perhaps it's common fears, or uncommon hearts,
Em A D * G Em A
that makes us insincere, and torn apart.

Bridge*/Chorus:
When will I learn, love is just my fantasy disguised.      
An angel without wings can hardly fly,   
Bm A G A D * G Em A
And love without a dream it will not survive.
*after the first chorus (going into the solo) it's:
Bm A G A Bm A G A D-G
And love without a dream it will not survive
This is a tough song to explain. Hope this helps at least a little.
