Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Only  a misdirected  dart at  an unprotected heart
 I'm sure it happens  every day
Just  a passing interlude, a  fresh face to change  the mood
 I'll find my feet  again you say
What  rock I had you rolled
 What rock I had you rolled away
 But I live as best I can, meet the uninhabited man
 Please read the sign and walk away
 What an old dry shell I am the uninhabited man
 I'll find my feet again you say
 No doubt they'll pull me down
 No doubt they'll pull me down someday
Who's  been sleeping in my bed, who's been sleeping in my bed
Who's  been sitting in my chair, who's been licking in my bowl
 Intro
 Who's been sleeping in my bed
 A romantic ruin am I, funny how I catch the eye
 The vacuum slowly sucks you in
 I'm left no skill, no art, to meet you heart to heart
 You'll find no me beneath the skin
 And if there's no me then there's no
 And if there's no me then there's no sin
