Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
the  summer crawled by indetectably.
 and then i saw you looking down to me.
 and your earrings sparkled in the noon-day sun,
and  though it's very true that i  love everyone,
with  every ounce of energy left in me,
i  love you especially  because
i  saw you,
coming  through
the  screen  door
on  the second  floor,
up  on the balcony.
 it was hard to even see you at all,
 because the air was thick with alcohol
 so i kept on rubbing my eyes,
 for all the good it did me,
 for all the immeasurable good it did me,
 let the years come and take away my memory,
 i will not forget the shock that ran through me when,
 i saw you, coming through
 the screen door on the second floor,
 up on the balcony.
