Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
It's  hard enough to notice
Harder  still to react
Just  a stone's throw  from the centre  of our  attention
We  all fade to black
Save  me from a villainous  imagination
Deliver  me from my friends
If  I said something to  make you mad
I  will take it back
 It's hard enough to stomach
 But try to look away
 Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture?
 It all fades to grey
 Save me from a villainous imagination
 Deliver me from my friends
 If I said something to make you mad
 I will take it back
Long  lines  and warning  signs
Think  of  all the lives saved  by plastic knives
It's  naive,  but make-believe
We  will never  lose  if we remove our  shoes
 G / D / Bm / C x 4
 It's hard to keep your mouth shut
 Harder still to make noise
 But we can't have the perfect 20/20 hindsight
 That our fate enjoys
 So save me from a villainous imagination
 Deliver me from my friends
 And if I said something to make you mad
 I will take it back
 I will take it back
