Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 If you stay sober, I'll  put the kettle  on.
 And you can come over,  drink  tea, and watch  the lawn,
 And I'll  lay you  down.
 I'll lay  you down
 As the lights  come on in town  when day is over.
I  wanted to  die for two  days in 95’
 I stood by the lakeside  and waited  for the mood to be right.
 As all the leaves  turned brown,
 I listened  for the sounds  starting  to announce October.
 I'll lay  you down
 you can empty  out your mouth
 and I'll  arrange the  room again when  everything is over.
