the same chord except you slide your finger from the D on the A string to the C# on the A string.

D5        D5/C#
all of my days are spent 
D5           D5/C#
within this skin 
D5            D5/C#       D5    D5/C#
within this cage that I'm in 

D5             D5/C#
nowhere feels safe to me 
D5            D5/C#
nowhere feels home
