Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
The  well went dry
My  blood thinned out
 I scrapped through
A  thousand layers
 Of paint-like  years
The  secret's in
Congested  grins sigh
I'm  trying to find  places to breathe  now
And  if this were  a book
 I'd call  this song the final  chapter
And  if you read  it
 You'd be laughin'
If  it could end  right now
The  last lines  would be
My  body jolted  in
 And out of stolen  sound waves
The  world expands  or shrinks
 On any given  Monday
Tuesday  evening  dyes a  room blue
Friday's  window  has it's own  view
And  if this were  a book
 I'd call  this song the final  chapter
And  if you read  it
 You'd be laughin'
If  it could end  right now
The  last lines  would be
Good  friend,
How  loud do you  want life  to shout her  answers  in your  ear?
She  lights her streaming  by on stiff  necks
Connected  prayers  used to sign  off things
Keep  on counting  them
Or  maybe hold your breath
I'm  trying to exhale  you softly
Don't  be so vein
I'm  not impressed in past-tense
I  don't  do impressions
The  blood  has dried  (Good friend, how loud do)
Now  I can wash  my hands with tears  you cried (Want life to shout her)
If  you could frame  this feeling  (Good friend, how loud do)
At  night  it would whisper  to me
Good  friend,
How  loud do you  want life  to shout her  answers  in your  ear?
