Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
   x4
Middle  of no-where
Finally  you  can  breathe
Nobody  knows  your name
 It's easier
Shut  your eyes tightly
Clench  your fists 'til  they almost  bleed
Cautiously, lightly
Gently  expose  what's underneath
 //Chorus//:
 And all  you feel now
 Is the scarlet  in  the day
Even  if  it's real
 You can't stay
 So,  there you  go, you're gone  for good
So,  there you  go,  you're gone  for good
 x2
Your  mind is swollen
From  months of thought  without  release
 They've taken  their toll  on  you
 This very moment
 Of timid  and fragile  honesty
 Is  precious and  rare  and fleeting
 //Chorus//:
 And all  you feel now
 Is the scarlet  in  the day
 And even  if  it's real
 You can't stay
 So,  there you  go, you're gone  for good
There you  go,  you're gone  for good
 Oh_____oh___oh___
There you  go
 You're gone  for good
There you  go
 You're gone  for good
