Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Oh  What a shame that your pockets did bleed on St. Valentine's.
 And you sat in a chair thinking "Boy I'm Such a Prince!"
 Well Life's a train that goes from February on  day by day
 But it's making a stop on April First.
 And you  will believe in love  and all  that it's supposed to be
 But just  until the fish  start to smell  and you're  struck down by a hammer
Sure  you were swift when the handsome greek boys dropped by with gifts
 you are suave thanks to ribbons that open sesame
 But in the stars and closer to home and every planet  it ain't hard
 For me and dear Jo Jo to see.
 (Chorus)
 So let  it all go by  (let it all go bye) looking  at the sky  (looking at the sky)
Wondering  if there’s clouds  (wondering if there’s clouds and stuff) in hell
 (repeat)-rufus sings not parenthesis first time, in parenthesis second time
 same chords for verse here)
 And you  will believe in love
 And all  that it's supposed to be
 And you  will believe in love...
 End in G
