Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Let  the C  chord ring here and everytime it's played throughout the verse.
 I believe in desperate  acts
 The kind  that make me look stupid  - look like a fool
 Just keep reinventing  myself
 It's move  or die - I change my form
 These days  the people I love
 are spread  so far apart  - all out of reach
 It's a thin sheet
 Across the face  - cover me now
 That's pretty old
 That's pretty oooold
 I never  felt like this  before
 I say  that every hour
 I never  felt like this  before
 I say  that every hour
 It's never going to be  like it could have been
 Now it's just this  room - window looks back
 You're a big  part of it
 But I don't care  - you take the lead
 And can you  really see  me now
 Like I made  me - made me anew
Just like anyone else  - safer alone
 Repeat Pre-Chorus.
 So right,  so wrong
 Another winter's  coming on
 You win,  you lose
 It's the same  old news  - these things go wrong so often
 Pick up the phone
 And punch  your home code
 Somewhere,  sometime  let me make  you mine
Lean  your head  on mine
 Like you used  to - used to your lean
I don't mind  if you're faking  it - make it seem real
 I'm not asking  the questions
 I'm not demanding the answers now  - take what you give
 Right or wrong,  just take  me, lead me on
 I'm going  - I'm going
 Repeat Chorus. End on C.
 So that's it. Pretty simple like most Jawbreaker songs, but amazing nonetheless. Also like
 most Jawbreaker songs. And this is one of their best, at least lyrically.
