Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
-Thought it was an utter shame that I couldn't find any chords (or tabs!) for this song;
it's totally beautiful and one of the best songs on Ugly Beautiful :/
So this is my acoustic interpretation of the chord-ing... if that's a word...
I hold you closely,
You push me away.
I want forever,
You just want today.
Give me your fingers,
Wash out your mouth.
Bite off my tongue
On this bloody couch.
But I don't blame you.
You're always right.
I'm like a bad day
On your good, good night.
(Here's the instrumental. If acoustic-ing it up on guitar, it's pretty much the same as
it's always been. I suggest singing the last four lines again in your head whilst
I hear the tick of a bomb-ah,
All you hair in a fuse.
You asked me for a light
To blow away these blues.
Run me a bath,
Then plug me in.
I'm like a T.V.
Learning to swim.
But I don't blame you.
You're always right.
I'm like a bad day
On your good, good night.
(Another instrumental, with a few 'Mm-mh's over the top. This one goes G C G C G C G C D
(This bit is spoken)
I hold you closely.
You push me away.
I want forever,
You just want today.
Give me your fingers,
Wash out your mouth.
Bite off my tongue
On this bloody couch.
But I don't blame you.
You're always right.
I'm like a bad day
On your good, good night.
But I don't blame you.
You're always right.
I'm like a bad day
On your good, good, good, good night.
