Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  want to write something beautiful,
 Something so beautiful
 That I just can't sing  it
without getting that incredible feeling,
F
The one that just overwhelms my se---e----nses.
 Because it's the only  thing I have,
 It's the only  thing that makes  my life worthwhile.
I  know there aren't too many people
 Who allow themselves to say  what they feel,
 So I  was watching  your eyes,
 In case  they just might say  something.
 I want to think someone's beautiful,
 That they're so beautiful it's a thrill to be near them.
 Fill my stomach with butterflies,
 have me floating on air,
 Bring something out of me I didn't know was there.
 But it's such a torturous thing
 That I am not excited by anyone.
 I know there aren't too many people
 Who allow themselves to say what they feel,
 So I was watching your eyes,
 In case they just might say something.
