Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I've  spent my life waiting
 For that  famous final scene
 I believe you  know the one--
 When she falls in love with me
 As for you, you've been fakin'  your smile
 Fillin' your time on small  talk And cheap wine
Knowing  in your heart there was someplace
 That you'd rather be
 So right  or wrong,
 I wrote  you this song
 To tell  you how I feel
 Don't put  up no fight
 You just turn  off the lights
Walk  over here to me
 And lay  your body down  on me
Down  on me tonight,  oh yeah
 Oh, let  your tears fall down  on me
Down  on me  tonight,  oh yeah
 As for me I've lied  to, denied to
 fight with, and tried to
apologize  for all my ways
 To all the women who were  fool enough to fall
 in love with me
 You played your role
 like a movie
 Got your lines  for who is,
 who was, who would be
Somehow  you lost track
 While real love slipped away,  yeah
 So  for tonight, just turn  off the lights
 And let  those real feelings show
 There's no  wrong or right
 but  until you try
 you're never  gonna know
 Before  you was mine
 I was so  lonely
in't  it  shame
 Your heart must feel pain
before  you get back on your feet again
 Solo
 So let's  draw the blinds
Forget  wasted time
 And let  them old demons die
 Take ahold  of my hand
 Then you'd  understand
 Why love's  worth one more try
