Dunno if anyone's still watching this at all, but I like a Bm in place of the D in the verses?...and here's what I worked out for some very simple chords in the break:
F# E Upstairs my piano plays going up and down the scale D E A downstairs they're putting on airs D C G D Em G and I play for you, oh I play for you, for you.
...but what I REALLY think is that the only way I'm going to get this right is by returning to open D. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
