Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Intro  (2x)
These  few  Lines  I’ll devote
 To a marvelous  girl  covered up  in my coat
Pull it  up  to your chin
 I’ll hold  you until
 The day  we begin
Still
Lying  in the shadows  this new fate  will cast
Upon  everything  we carry from  the past
You  were made of every  love and each  regret
Up  until the day  we met
There  are  no words  that I’m afraid  to hear
 Unless  they are:  “Goodbye,  my dear”
 (same chords)
 Still
 I was moving very fast but in one place
 Now you speak my name and set my pulse to race
 Sometimes words may tumble out but can't eclipse
 The feeling when you press your fingers
 to my lips, I want to kiss you in a rush
 And whisper things to make you blush
 but you say: Darling, hush, hush,
Still,
 Still..."
