Q. Im trying to write a song that I will be able to sing for a special someone, but I just want to know the basic chords to start out with.
A. I don't know what instrument you're playing or what kind of love song you want to write, so I'll give you chords easy to play on guitar or piano. They're (mostly) in the key of G:
G
Am7
A7
A7sus4
Bm7
C
D
D7
Dsus4
D7sus4
Em
Em7
Here's a chord progression to get you started. Change it however you like or discard it completely:
Intro
G |C |G |C |
Verse
G |C |G |C |
Em7 |A7 |Dsus4 |D |
G |C |G |C |
Em7 |A7 |Dsus4 |D |
Chorus
C |D7 |G |C |
C |D7 |G |C |
C |D7 |Bm7 |Em |
C |C |D7sus4 |D7 |
G |
Then back to the Intro. (Leave out the first G, because it's already at the end of the Chorus.)
Hope that helps. Good luck.

How do you explain this advanced, alternate ending chord in music ?
Q. On the piano, let's say we are in the key of A minor (Am). When the song ends, instead of resolving to the Am, we end on D to D octave on the left hand and on the right hand we play C E G# B.
How does this chord work and why does it sound "off" but good?
Do you know any other alternate ending chords for both major and minor keys ?
A. B
G#
E
C
A
wold be A minor major 7/9, so that would be the "normal" chord to end the cadence
Changing only the Root from A to D makes it a D7/13/#11 which can be seen as a substitute for the A minor chord.
It gives the listener the impression that the song is not finished yet- which it is.
its a common trick used in Jazz to substitute the I minor chord with a IV chord.
