Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
And  I'm alright
 Standing in the streetlights  here
Is  this meant for me
 My time on the outside is over
 We don't know  how you're spending
all  of your days
 Knowing  that love isn't here
You  see the pictures
 But you  don't know their names
 Cause love isn't here
 And I  can't do this by myself
 All of these problems,  they're all in your head
 And I can't be somebody  else
 You took something perfect
 And painted it red
No  sympathy
 When shouting out is all you know
 Behind  your lies
 I can see the secrets you don't show
 We don't know  how you're spending
All  of your days
 Knowing  that love isn't here
You  see the pictures
 But you  don't know their names
 Cause love isn't here
 And I can't do this by myself
 All of these problems, they're all in your head
 And I can't be somebody else
 You took something perfect
 And painted it red
 When - you took something perfect
 And painted it red
 ...when...
 you took something perfect
 And painted it red
You  take the best things from
 Then  everything gets empty
That's  not a world that I need
 Oooh,  you take the best things from me
 Then  everything gets empty
That's  not a world that I need
 Oohhhh
 And I can't do this by myself
 All of these problems, they're all in your head
 And I can't be somebody else
 You took something perfect
 And painted it "red"
 When - you took something perfect
 And painted it red
 (repeat)
 You took something perfect
 And painted it red.
