Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 can't find the forest
 too stuck on the trees
 but now you're invested,
  so i'm left pretending
  it's all i can see
 i asked for a window
 to open my cell
 you came as kaleidoscopes
  climbing, colliding
  you came as yourself
 whether i'm ready
  is not  up to me
  we go where we're ordered
  to bunker  or beach
 to the close of creation
  as shells and stories
 a spiral staircase
 Astoria, Queens
 i claimed you while conscious
  got sleepy, forgetful,
  and left you in dreams
 you folded your  leg
  right foot  to left knee
  you laughed at my back
  said you  couldn't believe
  how violent  I could be
  just brushing my teeth
 (this part is hard to figure out
  give me feedback if you can)
 drove from the service
 spent in my seat
 my woman beside  me
  a clutch of hydrangeas
  a strange sort of peace
 in loss, i'm made certain
 unveiled clarity
 it's you i will marry
  my lover, my family
  you always will be
 but every word
  seemed  too small to speak
  so we watched the sky  reach
  ambivalent  peaks
 we made our projections
  present and free
