Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Drive  the road to your surrender
Time  comes around... out of my hands
Small  boats on the beach at the dead of night
Come  and go before first light
Leave  me running in the wheel
King  of the world
 How do you feel?
 What is there  to feel?
 So how do we now come  to be
 Afraid of sunlight?
 Tell me girl why  you and me
 Scared of sunlight?
Been  in pain for so long
I  can't even say what hurts anymore
I  will leave you alone
I  will deny
I  will leave you  to bleed
I  will leave you with your life
 So how do we now come  to be
 Afraid of sunlight?
 Tell me girl why  you and me
 Scared of sunlight?
All  your spirit rack abuses
Come  to haunt you back by day
All  your Byzantine excuses
Given  time, given you away
Don't  be surprised when daylight comes
To  find that memory prick your thumbs
You'll  tell them where we run to hide
I'm  already dead
 It's a matter of time
 So how do we now come  to be
 Afraid of sunlight
 How do we now come  to be
 Afraid of sunlight
 For the part where the chorus goes on with the solo underneath it, just follow the same
 chord progression at the moments you hear the chords change. The rhythm is still the
 same, so you can play the same chords at the same moment as before.
 Day-Glo Jesus on  the dash
 Chalk marks on the  road ahead
 Friendly fire in  hostile waters
 Keep the faith
 Don't lose your head
So  how do we now come to be?
 Dennis
