Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
How  soft a whisper  can get
When  your're walking  through a
Crowded space
I  hear every word  being said
And  I remember  that everyday
I  get a little bit closer  to you
you
How  long an hour  can take
When  you're staring  into open
space
When  I feel I'm slipping further
away
I  remember that everyday
I  get a little bit closer  to you
you
These  are the days
That  I won't get back
I  won't hear you  cry
Or  hear you laugh
And  when it's quiet
And  i don't hear a thing
I  can always hear  you breathe
 (You know there's nowhere else) * This part comes in during the G chord,
 and the previous line "...you breathe"
I've  wanted to be
Than  be there when  you needed me
I'm  sorry too
But  don't give up  on me
And  just remember  that when you
 Were asleep
I  got a little bit closer  to you
you
