Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Touch  my mouth and hold my tongue
 I’ll never be your chosen one
 I’ll be home,  safe and tucked away
 You can’t tempt  me if I don’t see the day
The  pull on my flesh was just too strong
 It stifles the choice and the air in my lungs
 better not to  breathe than to breathe a lie
 'cause when I open my body  I breathe a lie
 (  pedal in bass)
 I will not speak  of  your  sin
 there was a way out for him
 the mirror shows not
 your values are all shot
 But oh,  my  heart  was  flawed  I knew  my weakness
 So hold my  hand, consign  me not  to darkness.
 Crawl on my belly ‘til the sun goes down
 I’ll never wear your broken crown
 I took the road and I fucked it all away.
 Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace.
 So, crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
 I’ll never wear your broken crown
 I took the road and I fucked it all away.
 Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace.
 So, crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
 I’ll never wear your broken crown
 I can take the road and I can fuck it all away.
 But in this twilight our choices seal our fate.
