Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (verse)
The  industry's out of touch
The  means of production are now  in the hands of the workers
But  I still want to be guided  by your expert hands
Oh,  lay your expert hands  on me
 (chorus)
And  I, I would listen while you played  me through my fears
And  I, I would whisper just to make  you come near
And  I'd watch every gesture while you play  the Kay mirrors
Oh,  I, I want your hands here
 (repeat verse chords)
 The new millennium's tough
 For some more than others, a ridiculous understatement
 But I still want to be gazed on by your Ativan eyes
 Oh, cast an eye upon me
 (repeat chorus chords)
 And I'd sit and write to you about all this and nothing
 And I, I would give it all to give up all but one thing
 And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in
 Oh, I, I want your eyes here
 (bridge)
I  feel danger growing
 A storm's dropping branches in  my path
 Only danger where I'm going
 Will you  be a stranger when I  get back?
 (repeat verse chords)
 We strive to survive causing least suffering possible
 The Flux of Pink Indians gave me words for that
 But I still want your heart beating on mine
 But oh, have I been beating on your heart?
 (repeat chorus chords)
 'Cause I, I would listen while you played me through my fears
 And I, I would whisper just to make you come near
 And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay mirrors
 Oh I, I want your hands here
 And I'd drive and talk to you about all this and nothing
 And I'd still give it all to give up all but one thing
 And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in
 Oh I, I want your eyes here
 (outro)
I  want your eyes here
Ativan  eyes, dear
(repeat)
 (guitar solo outro is in the key of B)
