Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  could hold on to just one thought for long  enough to know
Why  my mind is moving so fast and the conversation  is slow
Burn  off all the fog and let the sun through to the snow
Let  me see your face again before  I have to go.
 I have seen you in the movies and in those magazines at night
 I saw you on the barstool when you held that glass so tight
 And I saw you in my nightmares, but I'll see you in my dreams
 And I might live a thousand years before I know what that means
 Once there was a friend of mine who died a thousand deaths
 His life was filled with parasites and countless idle threats
 He trusted in a woman and on her he made his bets
 Once there was a friend of mine who died a thousand deaths
