You could use any combination of these alternative chord shapes, or stick to
one set throughout. For variety, I like to use the open 4th string as the
drone for the earlier parts of the song, saving the bottom D until the drum
break and final choruses, hitting the bass note first, then strumming the
rest of the chord, but avoiding the 5th string on the C and Bb chords.

Dm Am/D
Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand,
Bb/D F/D
I've seen your face before, my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am,
Dm Am/D
Well, I was there, and I saw what you did, saw it with my own two eyes,
Bb/D
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been,
F/D
