Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Going  once
 Going twice
Sold  to the girl  who ignored  all the advice
 Of all the people who knew better
 She just stood there
 On the front porch
 Waiting for her (will) to come and get her
 She was packed
 She had a suitcase
 Full of noble  intentions
 She had a (map)
 And a straight  face
 Hell bent  on reinvention
 And she was ready  for the lonely
 She was  in it for it (only)
 Going once
 Going twice
 Down the road less taken
 With her diary and her WD40
 And her Swiss army knife
 And her beer
 And there was always
 someone there to say
 Why don't you just stay
 And hang your hat
 Here
 But she was packed
 She had a suitcase
 Full of bungles and near misses
 She was swinging through a jungle of last calls and first kisses
 And she was learning about please
 About huge humilities
 And then one day  she looked around her
 And everything  up till then was showing
 And she wondered  how did I get here
 Without even knowing  where I was going
 And now there's no  getting out of this
 And there's no  going back
 And it all  seems so odd sometimes
 And the odds  all seemed stacked
 Going once
 Going twice
 Sold to the girl
 Who ignored all the advice
 Of all the people who knew better
 She just stood there
 On the front porch
 Waiting for her will
 To come and get her
 She was packed
 She had a suitcase
 She had a map
 And a straight face
 She was ready for the lonely
 She was in it forever
 She was in it forever
 She was in it
 She was in it ...........
 It is a bit of strange circle of chords, but not very tough for me :)))
 Just kidding... enjoy Kate
