Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The sky  glows
 I see it shining with my eyes  closed
 I hear your warnings but we both  know
 I'm gonna look at it again
 Don't wait,  Don't wait
 The road is now a sudden  sea
 And suddenly, you're deep  enough
 To lay your armor down
 To lay your armor down
 To lay your armor down
 You get one  look
 I'll show you something that the night  took.
 A bit to early for my own  good
 Now let's not speak of it again
 Don't wait,  Don't wait
 The road is now a sudden  sea
 And suddenly, you're deep  enough
 To lay your armor down
 To lay your armor down
 Musical intermission... C, Am, F, C (same as intro)
 Don't wait,  Don't wait
 The lights will flash  and fade away
 The days will pass  you by
 Don't wait
 To lay your armor down
 To lay your armor down
 And the song finishes just like it begins, on a long C chord... nice...
 Also, for the fancier ones, if you want to get that neat change of notes within the C
 Am chords, all you have to do is this:
 for the C: for the Am:
e----0----0---0---0 ---0---0---0---0-|
B----1----0---1---0 ---1---0---1---0-|
G----0----0---0---0 ---2---2---2---2-|
D----2----2---2---2 ---2---2---2---2-|
A----3----3---3---3 ---0---0---0---0-|
E----x----x---x---x ---x---x---x---x-|
 Anyways... i think you get the point. It really isn't a hard song to play, at least like
 But it's got a good feel to it. Beautiful simplicity.
 See ya
