Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Em-------------------------------
 I forget when words were only words
Em-----------------------------
 She knows the party makes me nervous
Em-------------------------------
 In this stage we can't get hurt
Em-------------------------
 Don't try to understand me
We're  too cool to be alone
 palm mute
 But, not too crazy to get busted
Em----------------------------------
 I found out one life just ain't enough
Em--------------------------------
 I need another soul to feed on
Em------------------------------
 I'm the flame I can't get burnt
Em-----------------------------
 I'm wholly understated
I  found silence in this space
An  on and off again attraction
I  need such amazing grace
Heaven  sweep me away
 (Chorus)
Love  don't change, don't  come around here
Don't  wear my heart on your sleeve
Like  a high school letter
Don't  strain, 'cuz nothing  ever come from it
And  the people we've become,  well
They've  never been the people  who we are
 (not sure how this part goes, )
Em------------------------------
 I strap on one horse and pray for luck
Em-------------------------------
 I dug another hole to bleed
Em-------------------------------
 I know exactly how this works
Em-------------------------
 I need a new feel dirty
I  don't need you crowding up my space
I  just want to get inside you
You  can't believe the heart you save
Giving  something away
 (Chorus)
I  dreamed that the world was crumbling down
 We sat on my back porch and watched it
I  dreamed that the buildings all fell down
 We sat on my back porch and watched it
I  dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We  sat on my back porch and watched it
 In my head  I heard the sound
Like  fifteen strangers dancing
But  oh how I want you to know me
Oh  how I want you to know me
Oh  how I wish I was somebody else, baby
 Oh how  I wish you  could own me
 (Chorus)
 Kevin Jordan
