Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Leaves were falling,  just like embers,
In  colors- red and gold,  they set us on fire
Burning  just like moonbeams  in our eyes
 CHOURUS: Somebody  said they saw me, swinging  the world by the tail
Bouncing over  a white  cloud,  killing the blues.
 Now I am guilty of something...
 I hope you never do
 Because there is nothing
 Any sadder than losing yourself in love
 And then you've asked me...just to leave you
 To set out on my own
 And get what I needed.
 You want me to find what I've already had.
