Crush (standard tuning) question

Hi there, here is the verse as posted on this site:

Verse
Chord with X under it is one you end on when transitioning to "It's Crazy..."
E:-----------------------------
B:-3----3----3----2------------
G:-x----0----2----2----4----5-- <---4on last5&5
D:-4----4----------------------
A:-2----2----x----x----x----x--
E:------------0----0----1----3-- <---1

My question is, and this isn't the first time I've wondered this...but for the second and third chords on the verse, if you're strumming it how do you not hit the D string? What do you do in this instance? Sorry if seems like a simple question, but I'm a self taught player never really new how to strum those type of chords. Usually I'd just play the string in question as an open string. (In this case, the D string)

Thanks in advance,
Matt

EDIT: I'm not sure how that smiley got there????

I believe the smiley got there cause : - 0 or : - x is that face

Either way, mute or open. Depends on your preference.

I personally just mute it.

why dont you just take the half second to tune to drop-D, maybe Im just crazy but that seems like the most logical way
