Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 you play the notes  -  -  -  -  on the 5th and 6th strings. Hope you like it!
All  my lovers think I’m lovely in the morning when I wake
 When I roll  in folds of slumber, when I caress  I give and take
 All my enemies  are just like me: they’re a fatalist  mistake
 An abandoning  of deities, the slowest interstate.
 Let the bakers  have their dozens
 Let the coppers  get their man
 Let “Doctor-Lawyer”  fix her for you
Catch  her if they can
 When all  the stars in heaven
Cannot  count on me alone
 For I’m  the lover’s enemy
 And I can’t be counted on
 All my lovers under cover of night wrestle with their wounds
 They’re pawing sorus(??) piety, they’re kissing pleasure’s gloom
 All my enemies are ready for a drink or two to spite
 They’re praying for forgiveness and they’re ready for a fight
 (chorus)
 All my lovers love me tirelessly, they listen and they see
 They work the web of time itself to fall and capture me
 All my enemies they envy every move I’ve ever made
 The tireless love I’ve gathered even the rain on my parade
 (chorus)
