Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Pieces  of mind
See how  they  ran
Prizes  of sun
Still  to be  won
When  the life is made of straw
 Can you tell me what it's for?
 Waves that pound against the door
 Leave me at the place of throw it away
Throw  it away
Leave  it today
Keep  me dancing stop me grasping
Clouds  that turn the dust on touching
Times  I'm so far from what  I want,  what  I want, what  I want
So  much  the same
Living  in games
Pieces  of cake
Until  they break  apart
They  say the plane  that comes to pass  never rhymes
Now  it burns on grass  too steep  to climb
Best of  friends
Until  the flowers end
Mines  have taken  their place
Darkness  in their face
Now  the golden coach is here
 Can you cure me of the fear
 Should I move into the clear
 
Find  a time in which I throw it away, get out today
Keep  me singing stop me clutching
Rooms  that turn to dust on clutching
 Times  I'm so  far from what I want, what I want, what I want
Merry-go-round
In  a town  without sound
Wings  for hire
From  the church  with no choir
The  burning ship  is sailing
It  will not leave without me -
throw  it away, get  out  today
Keep  me singing stop me clutching
Rooms  that turn to dust on leaving
Times  I'm so far from  what I want,  what  I want, what  I want
Merry-go-round
In  a town  without sound
Wings  for hire
From  the church  with no choir
The  burning ship  is sailing
It  will not leave without me
The  stalks of fire  are failing
Wont  set  me... set  me  free
There  goes the price  of drowning
So  I must swim,  swim  to the  end
Each  day the head  needs crowning
Too  much  to mend...
 Not 100% sure of the middle descending part, but I think the notes are...
