Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
When  you finally  scaled the wall
Thinking  you  had heard the siren singing
What  you really  heard  was a broken  bird
Making  out like  it's a dove
When  you stole  the soldier's car
Everybody  knew what you  were thinking
Ivory  towers and  lover's flowers
But  no one thought  you were a fool
You  never stopped  to notice all
The  stolen clothes  stacked in the hall
From  the others  who  scaled the wall  just to
Find  themselves  fun off the road
 And again:
When  you showed  up at the farm
 Visions of the summer flying past you
 The foxes had torn up
 The mother and her pups
 And the well was full of flies
 When you walked down to the pond
 Searching for the lover guiding you
 It had been filled in with rusty nails and then
 You finally knew that you were lost
 No one thought you were a fool
 Even though everyone knew
 What you wrote was the same
 Just a different name
 Of those who escaped before you.
