Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I’m  lying here on the floor
 Just like the man  on the yellow cone
 I guess  the floor was wet
 So I’m cold  and I’m all alone
 Cuz I was running  down the stairs
 I didn’t think  that I could fall
 But gravity  took over me
 And I crumpled  like a ball
 But if you  would pick  me up,  I’d be obliged
Dust  me off and push  my hair  aside
 Well it’s later  than I thought, and I thought  it was pretty late
 I guess everyone’s  asleep, wonder why  I’m still awake
 I could fall  asleep right here with my hands  under my head
 There’s a body  in the stairwell
 Call the cops,  I think she’s dead
 But if you  would pick  me up,  I’d be obliged
Dust  me off and push  my hair  aside
Well  I can’t lie
 Perhaps  I didn’t trip
 I been having  troubles lately
 And I got something  to admit
 See, I was standing  at the top
Thinkin’  bout the earth
 It’s been so hard  to just keep livin’
 So I thought  it might be worth it if
 You  would pick  me up,  I’d be obliged
Dust  me off and push  my hair  aside
 And kiss me good-bye
