Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Born  from silence,  silence  full of  it
 A  perfect concert  my  best friend
 So  much to live  for, so  much to die  for
 If  only my heart  had a home
 Sing  what you can`t  say
 Forget  what you can`t  play
 Hasten  to drown  into beautiful  eyes
 Walk  within my  poetry, this  dying music
 My  loveletter  to nobody
  Never  sigh for better  world
 It`s already  composed, played  and told
 Every  thought the music  I write
 Everything  a wish  for the night
 Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
 Died for the beauty the one in the garden
 Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
 Failed in becoming a god
 Never sigh...
 "If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
 Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears
 For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
 Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality
 Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
 The sweet piano writing down my life"
 "Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone
 Show me love, hold the lorn
 So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
 I`m sorry
 Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
 I live no more to shame nor me nor you
 And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..."
 A lonely soul... An ocean soul...
