Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
And  now the shades are drawn
This  dark infesting shadows  cross the hall and now they’re gone
I  see this old arcade
And  rain comes down the gutters  to the wood this liquid dawn
So  my heart races now
These  palpitations bust  the seams off my laced sequin dress
I  see you standing there
With  rosy fingers, damn  this life a godless existence
This  schizophrenia  is taking over me
And  we don’t need this now do we  Oh
It  never was like this
But  still I could not be  trusted with your love no not  once
We  danced the meringue
Those  golden footsteps signs  of our fate in redundancy
But  now the past is gone
And  now I’m messed up beyond  any thought or small belief
This  fate is choking me
Like  icy water from  the depths of that barrier reef
This  schizophrenia  is taking over me
And  we don’t need this now do we
This  schizophrenia  is taking over me
And  we don’t need this now do we
Talk  to the light,  you’ll be colored  so bright
Behind  the wheel,  they stalk over  the drill  sirens
Open  your mouth  behind shades  of
Waking  in fire  and dreaming  in…
Holding  the night  behind straight  corn and papyrus
Holding  by luscious… Stares  that you gave  us
Waiting  for strength  behind locks  in the fire
Wait  for the love  that you said  would inspire
Wait  for the times  that you Said  you would cherish
Wait  for the love  that you Said  that would make it!
This  schizophrenia  is taking over me
And  we don’t need this now do we
This  schizophrenia  is taking over me
And  we don’t need this now do we
