Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  thought that we'd be further along by  now
 I can't remember  how we stumbled to this place
I  loved you like a long lost brother
 ON a bad  day maybe I thought why bother
 I've seldom seen so much anger in a face
 I wanna do better,  I wanna try harder
 I wanna believe  down to the letter
 Jesus and Mary  can you carry  us
 Across this ocean  into the arms of forgiveness
I  don't mean to laugh out loud
I'm  trying to come clean trying to shed my doubt
Or  maybe I should just keep my big mouth shut
More  often than not when it comes to you
You  want whatever's not in front of you
Deep  down I know this includes me too
 (play thru chorus once again, this is where she does the la,la, la's)
 So tell  me your troubles let your pain rain down
I  know my job, I've been around
I  invest in this mess, I'm a low cost dumping  ground
Trouble  is I'm so exausted
The  plot, you see, I think I've lost it
I  need the grace to find what can't be found
 I put all of the chords over the correct words,but when I submited, it put them
 Just listen to the song for the chord changes. This song is done on the piano, but it sounds
 with my twelve string. I pick through the chords like I would if I were playing it on
 piano. I just really wanted to sing this amazing song! So here it is, Have fun!
