Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  started out so starry-eyed
 Full of hope and wonder
And  I wore flowers in my hair
 Not aware I'd been defiled
(Every time  I see you) I know  it's going  down
(How  can I  believe you?) Karma  comes  around
I  know  this ride,  you must be there by my side
You  going down,  I must be descending
 (play Intro and Verse like before)
 I didn't want to play the song
 That gave people so much hope
 I turned my back and turned away
 Here's the rope that made me choke
 (Every time I see you) I know it's going down
 (How can I believe you?) Karma comes around
You  can see  it in my eyes
 You can read it on my face
 You can hear it as I cry
 God, I hope it's not too late
 Can I try to make it up to you somehow?
 Can I try to make it up to you somehow?
 Part:
You  can see  it in my eyes
 You can read it on my face
 You can hear  it as I cry
 God, I hope it's not too late
 Can I try  to make it up to you somehow?
 Can I try  to make it up to  you  somehow?
 Now my race  is finally run
 And as I tumble to the sun
 All these dreams  I can't achieve
 Brought me crashing  to my  knees
 My descent has now begun
 All the music left undone
 My world, it is descending
 (play  until the end, end on )
