Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Listen to the  rhythm guitar  in the song to figure out what I mean, you strum D,G
 and Bm, chords Em and A are transitional, you strum them only once or you can skip
 them, I put them in parantheses. Also, you can play E instead of Em, both sound
 good to me :) Exactly the same for the chorus.
 Oh, dust and bones
 That  I have left behind
 Are monuments  to those  I used to know
 At least  I know where  I am on my own
 I play it slightly different from the intro, A instead of Em once but you
 can play it exactly like the intro, sounds nice, you can still skip transitional
 chords in parentheses, in chorus it's even better to do so, I think) :
 I wanna be the last  thing that you  see
 
 Be my dearly departed
Back  to when you  were  the only  thing
 I need
 Before I gave  uuuuuuuuuuup,  my  dearly  departed
 Gave uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup,  my  dearly departed
 Your sticks and stones are all that I've ever known
 I'm bruised but I'm not broken and I know
 At least I know where I am on my own
 I wanna be the last thing that you see
 Be my dearly departed
 Back to when you were the only thing
 I need
 Before I gave up, my dearly departed
 Gave up, my dearly departed
None  of the people  who tried  to could make  me feel this way
 I'll gladly  do my time
I  found you, unbound  you, and tried  to explain  the only way,
 That I  knew how to  say
 play the intro/chorus chords until the end):
 I wanna be the last thing that you see
 Be my dearly departed
 Back to when you were the only thing I need
 I wanna be the last thing that you see
 My dearly departed
 I wanna be the last thing that you see
 My dearly departed
 I wanna be the last thing that you see
 My dearly departed
 I wanna be the last thing that you see
 My dearly departed
 End on A
