Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Don't  tell  me what  your name  is
 I want your body, not your mind,
 I want a feeling, worth paying for before I say goodbye
 But as I was talking, I couldn't look her in the eyes,
 I just kept wondering,
 How many men unleashed their frustration between her thighs?
There'll  be no sleep 'til the morning
 There'll be no lullabyes
 'cause the devil borrowed my clothes just for tonight
Well  my adrenalin,  was curdling  like cream,
 as I was being led by the hand.
 Through the sound of sirens
 And the distant noise of some drunken jazz band,
 Through the stench of disinfectant--
 that "INFECTED" my head,
 through the darkness of a corridor
 and into a stranger's bed.
Well  I didn't  wanna  hurt your  feelings, honey
 But I couldn't suppress my own,
 I had to pull myself outta this nosedive
 by proving something to myself.
She  was lying  on  her back
 with her lips parted.
 Squealing like a stuffed pig
 I was going through the motions
 faking the emotions, and wriggling around like a lizard in a tin.
 Trying so hard to cleanse myself,
 I was turning into somebody else.
 I was trying so hard to please myself,
 I was turning into somebody else.
 I was trying so hard to be myself
 I was turning into somebody else.
 I was trying so hard to be myself
 I was turning into somebody else.
 I was trying so hard to be myself
 I was turning into somebody else.
 Intro is a kind of Cmaj7 to C hammer-on ,  then F7 (just C to F7
 is fine if it pisses you off trying to nail it, mind).
 Verse is same chords: C to F7.
 1.09 (see vid):  (x2)
 1.29: C Bb C/G* F7 repeated (*= try Am if it annoys you- not quite right but it works well enough)
 1.53: Back to C F7 pattern.
 2.18: Back to C Bb C/G F7 pattern.
 2.43: Back to Dm7 G7 C A7 pattern (ie 1.09).
 Then  pattern to fade.
