C
Look at the stars
                       G
Look how they shine for you
                     F
And everything you do
 
Yeah, they were all yellow
C
I came along
                  G
I wrote a song for you
                         F
And all the things you do
 
And it was called yellow
C                     G
     So then I took my turn
                            F
Oh what a thing to have done
                              C
And it was all yellow
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
F        Am              G
 Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
F      Am            G
 Turn into something beautiful
F      Am             G
 You know, you know I love you so

I swam across
                   G
I jumped across for you
                      F
Oh, what a thing to do
 
'Cause you were all yellow
C
I drew a line
                 G
I drew a line for you
                      F
Oh, what a thing to do
                           C
And it was all yellow

F        Am              G
 Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
F      Am            G
 Turn into something beautiful
F       Am             G
 You know, for you I'd bleed myself dry

I'm not sure how you worked out the chords for this song? There are better versions available. You are right, it is an easy song but I think you have it in the wrong key.
