Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Don't  wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,  no, don't wake me up
 (Repeat)
 It's the early  morn'
 Lights flick on
 Sleepy eyes peek through the blinds  at something wrong
 Motionless  remains the mess
 Shame,  such a beautiful, beautiful,  young  life
 By the time I'm dreaming,  and you've crept out on me sleeping
 I'm busy in the blissful  unaware
 By the time I'm dreaming,  and you've crept out on me sleeping
 Tell me, how am I  supposed  to care?
 Then repeat the 'Don't wake up' bit, and another verse + chorus.
 After the second chorus, the bridge starts. Only I couldn't really
 figure that one out. I hope someone will. Maybe I will, some day.
 If someone else finds it before I do and wants to post it with the
 rest of this song, please do. I would not feel offended: I have no
 rights to this song, these chords are just what I heard when I tried
 it on my guitar; anyone as much a novice as myself could have heard
 it, all one needs to do is take the time for it..
 Much love from me and remember... love love MIKA!
