Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Leaves  were falling just like embers
 In colors red and gold they set us on fire
 Burning just like a moonbeam  ..in our eyes
Somebody  said they saw me
Swinging  the world by the tail
 Bouncing over a white cloud.
 Killing the Blues
I  am guilty of something
 I hope you never do because there is nothing
 Sadder than losing  .. yourself in love
 (Repeat Chorus 2x)
Now,  you ask me Just to leave you
 To go out on my own and get what I need to
 You want me to find  what I've already had
 (Repeat Chorus 4x)
