Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Mother  may bell's in  a a quiet hell.
I  hear a gun and a heart and slay bells.
I'd  say things have changed  quite a bit,
Since  I was young and mother didn't give a shhh.
I  can't be saved it's  too late,
But  with a little help I might concentrate,
Long  enough to start  believing
just  to make sure your still breathing.
No  time for the broken  hearted,
Got  to finish just what  we started.
The  only promise to the pour  departed,
Is  that they wind up dead.
Just  as sure as holy  violence,
We  start our songs  in silence,
Were  all looking for a little  guidance
Down  the long road ahead
There's  a cold breeze through  city streets,
Blows  leaves like dreams neath busy feet
Then  somewhere in an easy  chair.
Somebody's  momma cry, cause baby ain't there.
My  baby's so  lazy
like  to sit around, drive me crazy.
