Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
as  I turned my head to your side  of the bed...
why  are you awake? What’s on  your mind
to  this awful news try not  to hold on
the  day will come the sun will rise  and we'll be fine
As  long as I feel as strong  as I feel
I  will carry you as long  as I can
As  hard on yourself, please pardon yourself
Do  the best you can and that  won't go unseen
How  do I know when its time to stop
Runnin'  from the things I do, Bein' things I'm not
 Oh I have tried,  but I just changed  my mind
 Every night  befalls every  morning light
How  do I know that you will never stop
Knowing  me and trusting me, loving me alot
 Oh I have tried,  but I just changed  my mind
 Every night  befalls every  morning light
 Well there's only so  many ways
 You can give  your loving  to me
 But I'd  give my soul for just one  of them now
 I'd give  up the drinkin', just  tell me how
 (Repeat chords from last 4 lines)
 And there's only so many years
 I can give my love to you
 And I spent the last one hidden away
 Screaming my lungs out, nothing to say
 (repeat first verse)
