Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
D  (000232)
 Listen to the song to try and make a decent strumming pattern, and also try fooling
 with plucking for a sweet sound.
We  know only of what  has been,
sifting  slowly through all these  dreams,
 and out  of the gray,
a  beautiful flame
So  many choices soon to be made,
No  direction is clear of  shade,
The  future is yours, the future  is yours,
The  future is yours,
 D Em (hold the Em, drag out the strumming pattern)
 What will you make?
I'll  always be  like a moth  to a flame,
Bright  lights beckon  me,
 They always pull me  away,
Sometimes  fog is  clearer than  the lighted  way,
Seems  I'm always  here to follow  that  flame,
 I'll follow  that flame.
 and so on....
 These stepping stones, Some will cut my feet.
 The ones I choose though, are meant for me.
 The future is mine, there's no better time, there's no better time,
 To make things right.
