Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (Verse1. Same strumming pattern)
In  the morning you wreck the bed. You bring me coffee  black and
 boiling.
Then  we start up again. And the coffee  goes cold
I  wake up drinking from your lips. Kisses warm and tender
And  I would give up the world. Just to see your smile
 (Chorus)
One  thing I would never understand
 It's become  my problem
 And It's something  right out of my hands
 My hands are clean
 (No Chord. Just sing it )
 What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean.
 4 bars Accoustic strum
 ( Verse 2. Same Chord Progression)
 I went to town with a moody man. A handsome Doctor Jekyll
 He was right by my side. Turning into Mr Hyde.
 I ran for cover but I ran too slow. I was stitched by strangers.
 And they shook their heads that someone could do the things you did.
 ( Chorus 2 Same as before)
 ......What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean.
 (Instrumental Break)
 This is just the accoustic playing the Am /// Dm/// F/// Am///
 pattern once
 ( Bridge )
I  must be mad I must be crazy
Every  one keeps telling me so
Every  day I seem it coming
Now  Im facing the wall waiting for the blow
 ( Verse 3. No Accoustic chords for first two lines. Only the electric picking )
In  the morning you kiss my head. You say it was another.
Now  you're down on your knees begging me to forgive you please
I  wake up aching from your touch, Every muscle tender
Then  I look in your eyes the way you smile. And I'm hypnotised.
 ( Final Chorus)
 same as before
 ( Outro )
 Repeat and fade
