Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Little  girl don't  be sad I've set  your eyes on fire
Don't  say I'm a liar  that I don't love  you
Something  has brought  me down but I  won't give up hope
It's  hard for you to cope  when I'm around  you
Let  the sun break through
 The cracks  within my room
The  grey sky fades to blue
 It might wash  away this gloom
Alcohol, company,  I need  to readjust
From  this place of dust  let's go drink  tonight
And  at the bar we'll drink  'til dawn and I'll  pretend I'm dead
Whilst  resting my poor head  by the neon  light
Let  the sun break through
 The cracks  within my room
The  grey sky fades to blue
 It will wash  away this gloom
Let  the sun break through
 The cracks  within my room
The  grey sky fades to blue
 It might wash  away this gloom
 –  –  –  –  –  –  –  –
 (PLAY CHORUS ONCE WITHOUT SINGING)
 The birds  will sing for us  but we all  die in the end
 The birds will sing for us but we all die in the end
 The birds will sing for us the birds will sing for us
 The birds will sing for us but we all die in the end
