Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 So the guitar is
 If you don't have a tuner you dont have to tune it down but it wont match the
 song, it'll be a half step higher. (or sharp)
 This isnt the way Cody actually plays the song, but it is a moderation.
 I'm not sure of all the chord names because they are sus or 7 or somthing so I'll
 just put a chord chart.

 Alright now to where it all goes. (:
 If you step  back and realize I'm  sure that you'll see
 That these words  that were spoken eventually,
 Will dwell  in my conscience till my  dying day
 Oh what  can I say
 To change  your perception, want  me by your side
 The fact  that you moved on makes me  wanna cry
 If you open  your door I'll be there  with arms wide
 Just begging  and praying for one  more goodbye
 So I'll wait  for you,
 Even though  you dont want  me to because
I'm  not over you,  I promise
This  word they call love
 Come push or to shove
 I ment  it and now I'm in tears,  my love.
 I keep telling myself that its what what it seems
 and I wish that wouldn't keep haunting my dreams
 I'll shoot out of bed and wake up in a sweat
 How could I forget?
 I imagined the worse when we were on the phone,
 As you sat there and told me that you were alone
 I could see him I know how me makes you behave
 That this wasnt the girl that I kissed on our date
 But I'll wait for you
 Even though you dont want me to because
 I'm not over you, I promise
 This word they call love come push or to shove
 I ment it and now I'm in tears
 Because I'm not over you, I promise
 You wont see this face show up at your place
 Although I'm in town I'll stay here, my love
 And I  should know better, give up while I can
 And prove  to the world that I'll be my own man
 You broke  me and took me along for the ride
 And this pain  that you left me should make  me subside but I'm
 not over you, I promise
 This word they call love come push or to shove
 I ment it and now I'm in tears
 Because I'm not over you, I promise
 You wont see this face show up at your place
 Although I'm in town I'll stay here, my love
 Because I'm not over you, I promise
 This word they call love come push or to shove,
 I ment it and now I'm in tears, My love
