Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
 Well the prize was right there underneath  their eyeballs
 When it all came down we were looking  for the pitfalls
 Until Junie said: "Baby,  better get yourself to going"
 We were so far gone,  I had no way of knowing
  Everybody went low
 Everybody went low
 Everybody went low
 Well, she was pretty as a june bug, jumpy as a nerv end
 And once she pulled her rug out (???), the tires started swerving
 Well, I was driving through the living room, driving through the basement
 Looking for the lowest spot in the pavement
 Everybody went low
 Everybody went low
 Everybody went low
 Everybody went low
 Nothing there  to correct you
 Nothing there  to live up to
 There's nothing further  down
 Turn it off or turn  around
 ---- (same chords as verse)
 Well, I was coming up for air, I heard somebody breating
 It was Junie Bug praying harder than a heathen
 But she was smiling like the sole survivor in a lifeboat
 I said: "If I jump in, Junie, do you think this thing will still float?
 'Cause
 Everybody went low x 9
