Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 when  my love  stands next to your  love,
 I can't  compare  love when it's  not love.
 It's  not love;  It's not  love
 Which  is my face,  which is  a building,
 (the chords start here)
 which  is on  fire
 on  fire.
 so the whole song is just D for one measure and G for the next. It
 changes at the instrumental with the horns before "I got two loves"
  |:
 
 Which  is on fire
 then it instantly goes back to D and G until the final chord which is a
 D. it sounds cool if, after the instrumental you strum the D chord with
 long strums while you strum the G chord withfour staccato quarter note
 hits.
 have fun.
