Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Everybody sleeps
 But  I haven't done that in  the last few weeks or so
 And yeah,  I know the remedy
But  they ran out yesterday
I  can't re-fill anything
 Especially my heart. Especially  my brain
 If I  could bottle up this mess I could do  it all again
 And I don't wanna know  if there's another part of me
 Don't wanna feel  if I'm alive
 Don't wanna smell  the bed where we used to sleep
 I'm gonna miss it again, miss it again
 Just wanna walk  away from the ashes
 And take the fact  that I've been burned
 And maybe let  you know I'm still standin'
 If you miss  it again, miss it again, I'm around
 And you,  you were down the street
 And I  watched you through the windows  draped with sheets so white
 And yeah,  it looks a lot like me
 Is it a comfort  that you needed or coincidence  that's everything
 Especially my eyes,  'specially my clothes
 But does  it move you inside out
 Maybe I  don't wanna know!
 And I don't wanna know  if there's another part of me
 Don't wanna feel  if I'm alive
 Don't wanna smell  the bed where you used to sleep
 Gonna miss  it again, miss it again
 Just wanna walk  away from the ashes
 And take the fact  that I've burned
 And maybe let  you know I'm still standin'
 If you miss  it again, miss it again I'm around
 And all  the times you wanted out, you never  said a thing about
 How we  would just become the ships inside  of a bottle
 Breakin'  down, sails fallin'  off
 Tryin'  to stay afloat inside a place  you can't survive
 Are we breakin'  down?
 'Cause I don't wanna know  if there's another part of me
 Don't wanna feel  if I'm alive
 Don't wanna smell  the bed where we used to sleep
 I'm gonna miss  it again, miss it again
 Just wanna walk  away from the ashes
 Take the fact  that I've been burned
 And maybe let  you know I'm still standin'
 If you miss  it again, miss it again, I'm around
