Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
We  stood in the windy city,
The  gypsy boy  and  I.
We  slept on the breeze  in the midnight
With  the rain droppin', tears  in our eyes.
And  who's going to be  the one
To  say it was no good  what we done?
 <--optional chord
 I dare a man to say I'm too young,
For  I'm going to try  for the sun.
 (same chords as V1)
 We huddled in a derelict building
 And when he thought I was asleep
 He laid his poor coat round my shoulder,
 And shivered there beside me in a heap.
 ::Repeat chorus::
 We sang and cracked the sky with laughter,
 Our breath turned to mist in the cold.
 Our years put together count to thirty,
 But our eyes told the dawn we were old.
 ::Repeat chorus::
 Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky,
 Won't you look down what's happening here below?
 I stand here singing to the flowers,
 So very few people really know.
 ::Repeat chorus::
 ::Repeat verse 1::
 ::Repeat Chorus::
