Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Broken  people get recycled
 And I hope that I will sometimes be thrown over pathways
 What I thought was my way home
 Wasn't the place I know
 I’m not afraid of changing
 I'm certain nothing's certain
 What we are becomes our prison
 My possessions will be  gone
 Back to where they came from
Blame no-one  is to
Blame as natural  as the
Rain  that falls
 Here comes  the flood  a-gain
See  the rock that you hold onto
 Is it gonna save you
 When the earth begins to crumble
 Why do you feel you have to hold  on
 Imagine if you let go
Blame no-one  is to
Blame as natural  as the
Rain  that falls
 Here comes  the flood  a-gain
Wash  a-way  the weight  that pulls  you down
Ride  the waves  that free from  the dark
Don't  trust your eyes
 It’s easy to be-lieve  them
Know  in your heart
 That you  can leave your prison
Don't  trust your mind
 It's not always listening
Turn  on the lights
 And feel  the ancient rhythm
Don't  trust your eyes
 It’s easy to be-lieve  them
k
 Know in your heart
 That you  can leave your prison
Blame no-one  is to
Blame as natural  as the
Rain  that falls
 Here comes  the flood  a-gain
 I hope I've done it justice!
