Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Every  day feels all  the same
9  to 5 gets so  mundane
But  something breaks with just  one glimpse of you
I  would stare so long  awhile
Trying  to tell you with  my eyes
I  didn't say a thing  I thought you knew
 I wish I never  did assume, cos
 I was gonna tell  you today
 I even wrote the words  I would say
 I finally found the courage  but now it's too far
 It took  me all this time  to reveal
 What everything about  you does to me
 So tell my why  did I keep a cover on  my heart
Spent  all night trying to  explore just
How  I'd tell you I  adore  ya
And  how I'm moved by every  word you say
But  today there's an empty  space
I've  found you gone without  a trace
I  wish that I coulda told  you yesterday
 Maybe then  you would've stayed
It  feels like my point  of existence
Has  vanished with you  in the distance
Whatever  it takes  I'll persist  till I see  your face again
 (key change)
 I was gonna tell  you today
 I even wrote the words  I would say
 I finally found the courage  but now it's too far
 It took  me all this time  to reveal
 What everything about  you does to me
 Tell my why  did I keep a cover on  my heart
 Tell my why  did I keep a cover on  my heart
