Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Finger picking pattern by string...
 E: 6 - 3 - 4 - 2
 Esus4/A/B: 5 - 3 - 4 - 2
I  want to disappear
Far  from the folks I know
I  want to get an answer
To  why I was even born
No  one here can tell me
What's  been haunting me all my life
Well  this rat race has left me limping
Cause  I balanced on the edge of the knife
Why  am I here?
 Oh what  should I do?
 Well is this  the point I'm trying to prove?
 If there's a god in my head
 Then there's a devil too
 How can I tell the difference
 When they both claim to be true
 Maybe God is God
 Maybe the Devil is me
 Well I just throw my chains on
 And tell myself that I'm free
 Chains. Are they really there?
 Is this just in my head?
 Well I'll just stay in bed
 Life sure has its meaning
 Over years I have postured the sun
 Thieves and preachers robbed me
 For many hat that I've hung
 Now with my heart wide open
 I listen to the wind just for a word
 Sure, I know it's futile
 But that's all I have in this world
 To look down from the hill
 And howl at the moon
 All the tears I cried never salted any wounds
 Well the earth is so tender and cruel
 Well if you're not there it's still so beautiful
