Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Jesus Christ, was that my tongue or a knife
 The things i say leave me ashamed
 My skin burns from the flames, ive got gasoline in my veins
 Ive got the sun in my back, and the world in my sights
So  strike up  the band
 ill put the flames out with my own hands, for you
 Go on go on go on
 Take all of me dont let this be the only thing i know
 And dont ever let go
 next verse same thing
 Ashes fall from your lips, and I'm counting the ways, the counterfeit
 And if I know your disguise, well it used to be mine
 I'll carry you through this burning land, and when the water's gone, we'll
 drink the sand
 I've got nothing left for the journey home
 Bridge again same chords
 And I've run out of god's to burn, so this fever will return
 For You
 Then another section, chords are the same as the chorus but the rythem changes
 This distance run, this smoking gun
 The failure in your eyes
 Things fall apart, this stone I carved
 Has fallen to the floor
 Still so easily ignored
 Still so easily ignored
 This is all of me
 This is all of me
 This is all of me
 This is all of me
