Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (Drums)
 
I’m  old enough to know  that  my stars just won’t  let go
 At this day  and age I can see that the  world was meant  for me
Some  people laugh at what you’re doing,  they hold you in the  sand
I’m  having hard time adjusting  to these changes
 Ref:
I  can see that your lips are moving
 But I can’t  hear what you’re saying
Is  it yes or is  it no? Is it  stop, or is it  go?
Is  it suck or is  it throw? Or is it me  or am I just too  slow?
 (do ICP, 4x)
 (Do stanza chords)
 I’m young enough to think that the world looks good in pink
 But as far as I can see that ain’t enough for me
 Some people hear what you’re saying, they pull you by the strings
 I’m having troubles taking things day by day
 Ref 2:
When  I see you I see red and green
You’re  like the biggest tree I’ve ever seen
 But it cuts you  down, oh down to size
 The apple of my eyes  is rotting in the ground
 (Do ICP 8x)
 Ref 3:
I  see the future burning  in their eyes
 but I don’t  care what it’s saying
Is  it high or is  it low, is it  high or is it low
Is  it sink or is  it grow, is it twister,  a-he, he-he-hey
 (Do ICP 4x)
I  wrote this song while I’m eating beans
Now  don’t you try to ask me what that means?
It’s  just like asking me to tell you my dreams
I  would have told you long ago
 But now it seems you’re  far away
 Here comes a loony bin,  come to take me away
 You put a scar in my  twisted face
 In the yearbook  I look out of place
 I see my letter  burning in your hand
 It took me 25 years  just to understand
 (Do ICP)
 Blue is the color of my skin
 Blue is the color of my skin
  (Drums)
 Blue is the color of my
 Woh!
