Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  hit the nail on the head  tonight
Everything  you do is in spite
 I'll be  alright
How  does she do  this to me?
How  have I fallen completely?
 She's just a girl
 But she's my world
 Consequently
She  reads books and I  read hearts
 The line  we color in never starts
 But she can kill  me with her smile
 I'd brush it off but I'd be in denial.
This  is the killing  and I don't  know where to start
It  troubles me, lack  of complexity, that we  would ever have to part
This  is the killing, Control  is only true
When  it belongs to someone  and that someone isn't  you
Her  eyes were ocean  green
Beautiful  yet so damn obscene
 The night could not  be controlled
 Let it snow,  let it snow, let it snow
 And I knew she was  for me
 The way  she spoke it was, it was so sweet
 Akwardly,  are you gonna kiss  me?
You  hit the nail on the head  tonight
 I thought  everything you did was in spite
 I'm not  alright
