I am writing a Christmas song for our Zoom party and I can hear a missing chord in a run but I can't work out what it is!
The song is in G. The verse and chorus are cool open versions of G, Am7, C.
Then the break is Em, D with F# bass and then back to the G, Am7, C.
Now, to build a bit of tension later in the song, I go back into the Em, D/F#, but then extend the sequence more. From what I am hearing in my head, it is again Em, D/F# - then the missing chord (but has a G bass note) - and then a final D. Then back into the G, Am7, C.
This is the tab of the break or run or whatever it's called (all fingerpicked):
----------------------------
---0----3----- ?------3---
---0----2----- ?----—--
--(2)-----------?------4---
--(2)-----------?------5--
---0-----2-----3-----------
Em D/F# ? D
Any ideas? I have used versions of just a G chord, but there is a tension that I think should be there that is not there by just playing D and B notes on the 2nd and 3rd string.
Any help appreciated!
(EDIT to correct the final chord. It is a D, not a D7)

or, a bit more fruity, this, which I think might be Gdim:

if you’re playing thumb over for the D/F#, then just slip the thumb up a fret.
