In the clip you can see the unusual D shape Brandy uses,
it's a Dadd4, which she plays as a slide up from a C chord,
but you need to avoid playing the top E string, or play it
as (x54035) adding that top note, as she does in other songs.
If you find this tricky, or a slightly odd sound to sing
against, you could substitute it with a conventional D major
chord instead.
CAPO: 3rd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of Bb)

[Verse 1]
G Gaug
Raven is the colour of her long, curly hair,
C Em7/B Am7 Dadd4
Red is the dress that she knows how to wear,
G G7
Bluest eyes I've ever seen, maybe just a touch of green,
C Em7/B Am7
Oh, she could steal most any woman's man,
Am7 G/B C Dadd4 G Dadd4
This'd be a real good time ...to hold my hand!
[Verse 2]
G Gaug
She walked up and said, "Hello, ...it's been a while!"
C Em7/B Am7 Dadd4
Don't think I didn't notice the nervous in your smile,
G
Wasn't that long ago,
G7 C Em7/B Am7
You were a whole lot more than friends------,
Am7 G/B C Dadd4 G
So, this'd be a real good time ...to hold my hand!
[Verse 3]
G7 C
Don't let this moment linger,
Dadd4 G D/F# Em7
Now would be the time----------,
A7
To reach out ...with your fingers,
C Dadd4
Get 'em tangled up with mine!
[Chorus]
G
Let her know for sure,
G7 G6 C Em7/B Am7
That I'm more than just a soft place...to land------,
Am7 G/B C Dadd4 G
This'd be a real good time ...to hold my hand!
[Bridge]
G D/F# Em7 B7 B7/D#
If I'm your future, ...and she's your past,
C Dadd4
If it's over with her, and our love's gonna last,
C
Don't let this moment linger,
D * G D/F# Em7
Now would be the time----,
A7
To reach out ...with your ...fingers,
C Dadd4
Get 'em tangled up with mine!
