Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Save  some time to dream, save  some time for yourself,
Don't  let your time slip  away, or be stolen by somebody else,
Save  some time for those  you love, for  they'll remember what  you gave,
Save  some time for the  songs you sing and the music that you've made.
Could  it be this is all  there is,
Could  it be there's nothing more at all?
Save  some time to dream,  cause your dream could save us all.
 Play  (x2) into all following verses.
Save  some time for sorrow, cause  it will surely come your way,
Prepare  yourself for failure,  it will give you strength some day,
Try  to keep your mind open  and accept  your mistakes,
Save  some time for living  and always question your faith.
 Then break using the same chord sequence as verses.
Cast  your eyes upto heaven,  oh  what does that mean to you,
Try  not to be too judgemental,  so others will not judge you,
Save  some time to think,  oh  before you speak your mind,
Many  of your friends will  not understand and to them you must be kind.
 and finish on....
 Yeah....a  dream that saves us  all
   Keep pinky on top E 3rd fret, move your index & middle finger from G major
 position to 5th & 4th strings.
   3rd fret using thumb over bottom two strings & index finger over top two
 strings. This info just for the novices like myself.
