Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
As  I wait for sleep to drag me under
In  the evening gloom I sit and wonder
The  words I should  have said to you
The  things I always  meant to do
The  bad dreams that all  came true
You  woke up  my neighbourhood
Night  after night  we would row
You  woke up  my neighbourhood
Things  and pretty quiet round here now
 When I think of how we were together
 I know we couldn't be like that forever
 Beneath the Seven Sister stars
 The night we let it go too far
 I slept out in the car
 You woke up my neighbourhood
 Night after night we would row
 You woke up my neighbourhood
 Things and pretty quiet round here now
I  remember skipping  on the porch  till it grew cold
I  remember feeling  like I was eight  years old
 Somersaults across the lawn
 Singing dancing up till dawn
 Every now and then we'd have a row
 You woke up my neighbourhood
 Things and pretty quiet round here now
 You woke up my neighbourhood
 Night after night we would row
 You woke up my neighbourhood
 Things are pretty quiet round here now
 Around here now
