Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Chasing  my  excuses to the end  of the night
 Tried to make a friend, but it ended with a fight
I  don't know  why and I don't  know when
But  my keys  have found a way  to lock me out again
 Sleeping on the subway in my interview tie
 Wander through the rain, sit and wonder why
I  haven't got a plan,  I haven't  got a clue
I've  only  got one lonely thing  that's gonna see me through
I've  got my little black ache  (What  you got?)
 I've got my little black ache (What you got?)
 I've got my little black ache (What you got?)
My  little black ache  won't fade
 much simplified):
 Lovely little girl, crowded little place
 I swear on this old Bible that I've never seen her face
 She talks like I know what she's talking about
 Somewhere there's a door that's got to let me out
 Hello, sleepless soul I'm a passing on the street
 Know that like me you only rest on your feet
 I know I had some friends, I can almost hear their names
 Now I got one lonely thing and no on left to blame
 I've got my little black ache . . .

Lovely little girl, crowded little place
I swear on this old Bible that I've never seen her face
She talks like I know what she's talking about
Somewhere there's a door that's got to let me out

Hello, sleepless soul I'm a passing on the street
Know that like me you only rest on your feet
I know I had some friends, I can almost hear their names
Now I got one lonely thing and no on left to blame

I've got my little black ache . . .
