Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Nothing  is forever
 And good things never last
 And learning  in the future
 Is based on lessons from the  past
 Thought we were Gold  in the Fire
 And we could not be burned
 Until you lost  your desire
 And I melted to learn
Thought  I could stop  you from changing  shape
But  two people cannot  believe on  one mans faith
And  your love is was
An  hourglass
What  I thought I’d found
Was  too good to last
And  your love it was
A  promise made
But  our lock and key
Held  a broken chain
 And now  when I see  you
 I just don’t  understand
 All  that I needed from you then
 Has now become all the time  on my hands
 It was torture to see it coming
 As we reached our end of days
 The sands of time were falling
 From a Pre-Mature Heart Decay
 And as I stood in falsehood
 In our final hour
 I prayed for the roots of a Redwood
 But you withered like a flower
 And when you finally spoke the words that broke my heart
 I couldn’t blame you too much when I knew from the start
 That your love, it was...
