The Wreckers Tennessee Lyrics

this is the riff after many lines during the verses,
I'm referring to it as X:
D --0-0--2-2/4-2-0---0h2
also, when switching chords often hit the bottom string at 0
and then hold to correct fret, such as:
dd9
A --0h3---2-----
E --x-----0h3---
intro:
dd9
A -----------0h2----
verse 1:
I never had all the answers
I never had enough time
But, I sure had all the reasons
Why you weren't what I wanted to find
verse 2:
I never laid all my cards out
You just wanted to play
The king he waited on my doorstep
While the joker and me went on our way
chorus:
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone
And wishing I was with you tonight
Cause I can guarantee
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
after chorus:
A -----------0h2--2/3\2-0-
verse 3:
These days everything is all business
I'm never in one place for too long
There's no lack of arms around me
But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong
chorus:
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone
And wishing I was with you tonight
Cause I can guarantee
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
bridge:
And I'd wish on every star in the southern sky
For that man in our life
If I did not think that, oh
chorus:
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone
And wishing I was with you tonight
Cause I can guarantee
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
Yes, I can guarantee
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
the ending is just Cadd9 and G, sometimes sliding the high strings
like a D chord formation from 5th to 7th fret (e string)
/ : slide up
\ : slide down
h : hold
