Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  spent a lot of my time looking  at blue,
The  colour of my room and my mood:
 Blue on the walls, blue out  of my mouth;
The  sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out,
The  sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about.
When  that feeling of meaninglessness  sets in,
 Go blowing  my mind on God:
 The light in the dark, with the neon  arms,
The  meek He seeks, the beast He  calms,
 The head of the good soul department.
 I see  myself suddenly
On  the piano, as a melody.
 My terrible  fear of dying
 No longer  plays with me,
For  now I know that I'm  needed
 For the symphony.
 (Same as verse)
 I associate love with red,
 The colour of my heart when she's dead;
 Red in my mind when the jealousy flies,
 Red in my eyes from emotional ties,
 Manipulation, the danger signs.
 (Same as verse)
 The more I think about sex, the better it gets.
 Here we have a purpose in life:
 Good for the blood circulation,
 Good for releasing the tension,
 The root of our reincarnations.
 (Same as refrain)
 I see myself suddenly
 On the piano, as a melody.
 My terrible fear of dying
 No longer plays with me,
 for now I know that I'm needed
 For the symphony.
 I spend a lot of my time looking  at blue--
 No wonder that  I blew it!
Ooh...

On the piano, as a melody.
My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
