Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
It's  like I don't have the patience
 Or the willpower to separate  myself
 From this inundated  era I've been dealt
 And all across the nation
 Pixelated screens light up  the night
 Of insomniacs  and night owls alike
 But we can turn  off the lights;  the sun's comin' up
 No dreams  tonight to interrupt
 Turn off  the alarm before  it sounds
Get  out of bed without putting  your head down,  down
I've  been closing my eyes  real tight
 But the space between my lids betrays  the light
 So I'm up  again, I've lost the will to fight
 The scrolling information
 Pulls me in and holds me in  a trance
Link  to link, no I don't stand a chance
 -Chorus
Stay  awake with me
 In the darkness  you will see
 What I've known all  along, all  along
 Quiet strumming):
 Baby  when you're sleeping
 I wonder if you see me in your  dreams
Do  you know exactly what it  means
 (Louder)
 Maybe we are falling
 And when I hit the ground I disappear
 But you open  up your eyes and I'm still here
 -Chorus, then:
Down, down,  down
