Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
On  our last trip to  the coast
We  watched the boats sail the  sea
"How  effortlessly they  float"
You  turned and said  to me
And  sedately I  sat there
In  my quiet mist of  rage
How  I wanted to tell you
But  I was hushed by my  shame
So  when the waves come rolling  in
Then  I won’t turn the tide
And  in the line of fire
You’ll  set me aside
So  go on Richard  let go
 (SAME CHORD PROGRESSION FOR ALL ADDITIONAL VERSES HERE OF)
 And I can still remember
 The laughter in a stranger’s face
 And the way you would tell me
 To slow down my pace
 See no living is that easy
 No living is that fair
 Of course I was going to lose you
 Were you ever even there?
 So when the waves come rolling in
 Then I won’t turn the tide
 And in the line of fire
 You’ll set me aside
 So go on Richard let go
