Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  have lost  you to sleep  again.
sleeping  as we  do on opposite sides  of a venn diagram
I  read the time  in shadows  on the wall
 the shards  of light  through the slats  on your window
 ah ha  ha ha
 ah ha  ha ha
 I ease myself from under your languid arm,
  fumble on my boots and hear you breathe through your alarm
 I disarm it for you,
 you rarely heed it anyway
 I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream,
 school bell ring messing up the play
 ah ha ha ha!
 A note, penned clumsily in this century's type-
 ruined hand saying gone down the shops for a walk
 I'll bring back some sandwiches and then I kiss your face,
 the black and the blue tie it into my laces,
  I don't want the wander blocking up the view
 ah ha ha ha!
 I stumble out into the afternoon.
 still salty from drink and the late night pool
 I'll be gone an hour at most,
 you will be more diagonal
 I've a head on me in the post, I know,
 a castle swallowed in the swell.
 ah ha ha ha! ...

[F]I have l[G]ost you to s[F]leep aga[G]in.

[F]sleeping as we[G] do on opposite [F]sides of a venn di[G]agram

the s[F]hards of l[G]ight through the sl[F]ats on your win[G]dow

ah [F]ha ha [G]ha

I ease myself from under your languid arm,
 fumble on my boots and hear you breathe through your alarm
I disarm it for you,
you rarely heed it anyway
I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream,
school bell ring messing up the play
