Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Waking  up today,  it  was cold out
 There's something  I should say,  but I can't get  my head around
 The bends  in your brain,  and your  elaborate pain
Makes  me tired
 (same as previous, G D Em D, etc.)
 As an old balloon, I hold my breath
 Like a penance paid too soon, and with too much eagerness
 To know what is true
 When air is changed by you
 Makes it hard
I  don't know  where  it comes  from
 Where to go
 When the rains come
 When the rain put me back
 In the bottle
 Where the sea meets the sun
 Where the bones and their rattle
 They don't mean anything to no one
 I, I had a swing
 When my salt was my own
 I'd my teeth bared for battle
 Till love lost made me dull
 It made me dull
 It made me dull
 (instrumental)
,  etc.
 (same as previous, C Bm Am Bm, etc.)
 Put me back in the bottle
 Where the sea meets the sun
 Where the bones and their rattle
 They don't mean anything to no one
 And I had a swing
 When my salt was my own
 I'd my teeth bared for battle
 Till love lost made me dull
 It made me dull
 It made me dull
