Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
There's  rows and rows of houses
With  the windows painted blue
With  the light from a TV
Running  parallel to you
 (same pattern unless noted)
 But there is no sunken treasure
 Rumored to be
 Wrapped inside my ribs
 In a sea black with ink
 If I had a mountain
 I'd try to fold it over
 And if I had a boat
 You know it would probably roll over
 And I leave it on the shore
 I'd leave it for somebody
 Surely there's somebody
 Who needs it more than me
I  am so
I  am so
 out of tune
 I am so
 Out of tune
 With you
 (back to normal verse)
 For all the leaves we burn
 Autumn fires and then return
 For all the leaves we burn
 All will return
 (once you sing "return" you pluck the top D string. Remember your guitar is tuned
 to DADGBE. For the rest of the way you hit just the D string as you sing:
 Music is my savior
 I was maimed by rock n roll
 I was maimed by rock n roll
 I was tamed by rock n roll
 Got my name from rock n roll
 It seems like a difficult song but once you get the timing and everything it's
 really fun to play. Any comments hit me up below at the comment section, I always
 answer. This is 100% right. I watched his fingers. Keep strummin' guys.

But there is no sunken treasure
Rumored to be
Wrapped inside my ribs
In a sea black with ink

If I had a mountain
I'd try to fold it over
And if I had a boat
You know it would probably roll over

And I leave it on the shore
I'd leave it for somebody
Surely there's somebody
Who needs it more than me

[A]I am so

[G]I am so
out of [D]tune

I am [Em]so
Out of [A]tune
With [D]you

(back to normal verse)

For all the leaves we burn
Autumn fires and then return
For all the leaves we burn
All will return
