She's all layed up in bed with a broken heart
Dsus4/F#
While i'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar, and we don't know how

kicked to the dirt

For Dsus4, the piano at least plays Em/F# (sounding pitch: F#m/G#). For Em, I would play Em9 (sounding F#m9). And add9 for C as usual. :) jockekantola.com
