Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The mind has so  many pictures
Why  can't I sleep  with my eyes open
 The mind has so  many memories
Can  you remember  what it looks  like when I cry
 I'm Trying,  trying  to tell  you
All  that I can  in a sweet  and velvet  tongue
 But no words ever  could sell  you
Sell  you on me  after all  that I have done
I'm  oooonly  the one you love
Am  I ooooonly  the one  you love?
 The  Lady  Gloom  and her hornets
circling round,  is now  before  us,
 the screaming's  done  without moving
One  little move  and for sure  you will be stung
 I'm singing  "Oh,  Jerusalem oh,  Jerusalem
See  what he's picked  up
 in the paaark,  let's f**k  this awful art  party
Want  you to make love  to me and only  to me in the dark
I'm  oooonly  the one you love
Am  I ooooonly  the one  you love?
 verse chords) -
We've  traded in our snap shots
We're  going through the motions
 Into  the view, I'm leaving  you
 Down Conduit  Avenue  into the early morning
 Into the early morning
 The one I  love
 Are you oooooonly  the one I love?
 Ok, a few notes:
 When you do the E-Esus4, you shift back and forth with your pinky-finger and end on the
 Esus4. I've stretched a couple of words, so that there is room for the chords. He sings
 those words kind of long too. Some of the timing is a bit tricky, but once you've played
 a few times through, it should stick. Remember to sing the last "one I love" on a monotonic A.
 If you have any corrections or criticisms, do tell in the commentaries.
 Cheers,
 GWiZ.
