Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
   **Update**
 Rather than regular D's in the
   intro and the solos, I think
   D2's sound more accurate.
I  used to think one day  we'd tell the story of us
 How we met and the sparks flew instantly
 People would say,  "They're the lucky ones"
I  used to know my place  was a spot next to you
 Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
 'Cause lately I don't even know  what page you're on
Oh,  a simple complication
 Miscommunications  lead to fall  out
So  many things that I wish you knew
So  many walls up I can't break through
Now  I'm standing alone  in a crowded room
 And we're not speaking
 And I'm dying to know  is it killing  you
 Like  it's killing me?
I  don't know what to say  since a twist of fate
 When it all broke down
 And the story  of us looks a lot  like a tragedy now-  Next chapter
How'd  we end up this way?
 See me nervously pulling  at my clothes
 And trying to look busy
 And you're doing your best  to avoid me
I'm  starting to think one day  I'll tell the story of us
 How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
 But you held your pride  like you should have held me
Oh,  we're scared to see the ending
 Why are we pretending  this is nothing?
I'd  tell you I miss you but I don't know how
 -stop
 I've never heard silence quite this loud
Now  I'm standing alone  in a crowded room
 And we're not speaking
 And I'm dying to know  is it killing you
 Like  it's killing me?
I  don't know what to say  since a twist of fate
 When it all broke down
 And the story  of us looks a lot  like a tragedy now
 -once
  This is looking like a contest
 Of  who can act like they care less
But  I liked it better when you  were on my side
The  battle's in your hands now
 But  I would lay my armor down
 If you'd  say you'd rather  love than fight
So  many things that you wish I knew
   -stop
 But the story of us might be ending soon
 Now I'm standing alone
   (2x*)  -once
  In a crowded room and we're not speaking
 And I'm dying  to know  is it killing you
 Like it's killing me?
I  don't know what to say  since a twist of fate
 When it all broke down
And the story of us
Asus4
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, no-----ow
 And we're not speaking
 And I'm dying to know  is it killing you
 Like  it's killing me?
I  don't know what to say  since a twist of fate
 'Cause we're go-ing down
   ...stop
 And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
 The End.
