Start off with a Dsus2 Dsus2 and then transition to the D D for the start of the song. 
For the G's at the beginning of the verse and the chorus, pull off of the A string and hammer on the second fret for a more dynamic sound.

Use Bb Bb instead of Bbdim Bbdim if it is too difficult.

About this song: Who Says

Mayer admitted to MTV News that Who Says' controversial opening line, "sort of plays with your perception a little bit, and it starts out and you go, 'Oh, is he being campy?'" He added: "But if you stay with the song long enough, then you start to realize it's not about marijuana. It's actually about freedom and living your life." (Source Songfacts).
