Chords

I Guess this is played on a banjo with alternative tuning. I like the sound I get when using theese chords for the intro/verse/instrumental parts:
Dsus2/E: x-x-2-2-3-0

D/F#:    x-x-4-2-3-2

G:       x-x-5-4-3-3
[Intro] D Dsus2/E D/F# G D/F# Dsus2/E D [Verse]
     D                Dsus2/E
In a coffee shop in a city

         D/F#         G
Which is every coffee shop

         D/F#
In every city

     Dsus2/E            D
On a day which is every day

                 Dsus2/E
I picked up a magazine

         D/F#      G
Which is every magazine

       D/F#            Dsus2/E       D
Read a story then i forgot it right away
[Chorus]
             Bm               A
And they say goldfish have no memory

              D                   G
I guess their lives are much like mine

        Bm             A
And the little plastic castle

        D           G
Is a surprise every time

         Bm                     A
And it's hard to say if they're happy

         D                  G
But they don't seem much to mind
[Instrumental] D Dsus2/E D/F# G D/F# Dsus2/E D [Verse]
      D                Dsus2/E
From the shape of your shaved head

          D/F#         G
I recognized your silhouette

         D/F#            Dsus2/E     D
As you walked out of the sun and sat down

                             Dsus2/E            D/F#            G
And the sight of your sleepy smile eclipsed all the other people

        D/F#                   Dsus2/E               D
As they paused to sneer at the two girls from out of town
[Chorus]
             Bm               A
And i said, "look at you this morning

    D              G
You are by far the cutest

       Bm              A
But be careful getting coffee

              D                   G
I think these people want to shoot us

             Bm                           A
Or maybe there's some kind of local competition here

       D                  G
To see who can be the rudest"
[Instrumental] D Dsus2/E D/F# G D/F# Dsus2/E D [Verse]
       D             Dsus2/E
People talk about my image

       D/F#          G
Like i come in two dimensions

     D/F#          Dsus2/E            D
Like lipstick is a sign of my decling mind

                         Dsus2/E
Like what i happen to be wearing

             D/F#               G
The day that someone takes a picture

        D/F#            Dsus2/E  D
Is my new statement for all womankind
[Chorus]
      Bm                     A
And i wish they could see us now

           D               G
In leather bras and rubber shorts

             Bm               A
Like some ridiculous new team uniform

           D            G
For some ridiculous new sport

      Bm               A
Quick someone call the girl police

    D         G
And file a report
[Instrumental] D Dsus2/E D/F# G D/F# Dsus2/E D [Outro]
     D                Dsus2/E
In a coffee shop in a city

         D/F#         G
Which is every coffee shop

         D/F#
In every city

     Dsus2/E                D
On a day which is every day
