Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
My  manner is imperious
 My logic  is empirical
 And I’m bad  at being a girlfriend
 So I’m hoping  for a miracle
 I fear your disappointment
 When I don’t turn out ethereal
 Though either way for me
 I know it means some new material
 Now don’t  go thinkin’ that you’re special
Just  because you are
 ’Cause I’m bound  to overthink it
 And I always  go too far
But  if you think this kind of tempest
 May just  be your cup of tea
 Then I’d like  to offer you
 The heart of me
 Each attempt to clarify
 Serves only to confuse
 And it feels just like a fracture
 But it looks more like a bruise
 And my heart can’t bear the weight
 Of one more empty “I love you”
 And I’ve strained my eyes to blindness
 Trying to find a point of view
 Now don’t go thinkin’ that I’m crazy
 Just because I am
 ’Cause I wouldn’t act indifferent
 If I didn’t give a damn
 Now don’t go thinkin’ that I love you
 Just because I do
 ’Cause I’ve never met a certainty
 I couldn’t misconstrue
 Yes, I’d like to offer you
 The heart of me

Readable chord sheet for Tempest by Mary Prankster

[G]My manner is imperious
My lo[C]gic is empirical
And I’m b[G]ad at being a girlfriend
So I’m ho[D]ping for a miracle

I fear your disappointment
When I don’t turn out ethereal
Though either way for me
I know it means some new material

Now d[C]on’t go thinkin’ that you’re special
[D]Just because you are
’Cause I’m b[G]ound to overthink it
And I a[D]lways go too far

[G]But if you think this kind of tempest
May j[C]ust be your cup of tea
Then I’d l[G]ike to offer y[D]ou
The heart of [G]me

Each attempt to clarify
Serves only to confuse
And it feels just like a fracture
But it looks more like a bruise

And my heart can’t bear the weight
Of one more empty “I love you”
And I’ve strained my eyes to blindness
Trying to find a point of view

Now don’t go thinkin’ that I’m crazy
Just because I am
’Cause I wouldn’t act indifferent
If I didn’t give a damn

Now don’t go thinkin’ that I love you
Just because I do
’Cause I’ve never met a certainty
I couldn’t misconstrue

Yes, I’d like to offer you
The heart of me
