Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
There  is a long forgotten voice,
I  know it's not your voice,
 because it's always  strained,
 I  wake up hearing unfamiliar voices,
 convinced they're trying to  explain,
 that if my words  were clearer,
 then maybe  I would know what I'm trying  to say,
 just as those long  forgotten voices,
disappear  back into rain,
 If I  was born the same day that you  die,
 should that make me  try,
I  was born the same day that you  die,
 should that make me  feel more alive,
Not  just sometimes but  always,
 I know  what I know,
 I know  what I know,
 I know  what I know,
I  tune the radio,
 to drown  out these voices I  don't know,
and  suddenly an empty house,
 it almost  fills up with hope,
there  are days and nights when,
 I don't  need to close my eyes,
 and they feel as real  to me,
 like an elegy  in the skies,
 If I  was born the same day that you  die,
 should that make me try,
I  was born the same day that you  die,
 should that make me  feel more alive,
Not  just sometimes but  always,
 I know  what I know,
 I know  what I know,
 I know  what I know,
Not  just sometimes but  always,
 I know  what I know,
 I know  what I know,
 I know  what I know,
