Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 tune regularly:
 The original chords are: F C Dm Bb, you could play it like that too!
 The chord progression for the verses and the chorus is exactly the same, it never
Eagle  in the dark
Feathers  in the pages
Monkeys  in my heart
Are  rattling their cages.
 Found a way to blue
 And another ghost to follow
 Said “it’s only up to you”
 It’s the hardest pill to swallow.
 hmmmmmmmm
 hmmmmmmm
 You never get to choose
 You live on what they sent you
 And you know they’re gonna use
 The things you love against you
 One foot in the grave
 One foot in the shower
 There’s never time to save
 You’re paying by the hour
And  that’s just  the way it goes
Falling  awake
And  that’s just  the way it goes
 musical interlude: just play the chords ( )
 Slipping through the bars
 Aware of the danger
 Of riding in the cars
 Taking candy from strangers
 And you’re never out of hand
 Never out of pocket
 I’m supersonic man
 Do you wanna buy a rocket?
Oh,  that’s just  the way it goes
Falling awake...falling  awake
And  that’s just  the way it goes
Falling  awake...falling  awake
 Eagle in the dark
 Feathers in the pages
 Monkeys in my heart
 Are rattling their cages
 I could learn to play the game
 I could learn to run the hustle
 If I only had the brains
 The money or the muscle
 play chords over and over( )  until the end
