Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 hammer on the Em chord the second time):
 x2
 same as Intro):
 x8
 There are too many people in this world
 Trying to shout their names
 How am I supposed to know where to run?
 But I don't know who's to blame
 And I give people something along the way
 Is it OK to be afraid of love if you don't understand it?
 some of these chords are a bit iffy):
*  (* *)
 x2
 And the nights are so long without you
 And the days speed up,
 My god I'll never let go of you now
 Cause some things are not worth changing
 My heart swells to the size of an orchid
 It takes the rest of my heart with it
 Going down down down...
 But I'm never going back home
 We've sent people into space without even really knowing
 If there ever gonna come back down
 And there are people asking
 Just where I am,
 Is it ok to be afraid of hope if you don't know how to keep it?
 stop at the start of the repeat, come back in on the G):
 And the nights are so long without you
 And the days speed up,
 My god I just can't lose you now
 But things are about to change
 My heart swells to the size of an orchid
 It takes the rest of my heart with it
 Going down down down...
 But I'm neverrrrr going back home
 If people on Earth could just get together
 Then maybe we could find a place for each other
 If people on Earth could just stand together
 Then maybe we could find a place for each other
 If people on Earth could just get together again
 Maybe we could find a place for each other
 If people on Earth could just get together again
 Maybe we could find a place for each other now...
 Finish on G
