Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Oh  darling
That’s  not the way it was planned
I  know I kept you waiting
 I screwed  up my timing again
 You told  me the fears  that were  in your head
Sitting  there cross-legged  on my bed
Don’t  you stay  away long  that’s what you said
 So quickly
 Summer ran right into spring
 I see your face lying next to me
 Just on the edge of my dreams
 So tired I can’t explain
 I lost something precious that was in my hand
 Let it all slip away slow like grains of sand
 If you’re through  with me
 I guess  I’ll see
 When I’m standing  at your door
 I finally  got my balance  back
 To where I was before
 And I’ve never  been so lonely
 So I’m singing  a Skydiggers’ song
 As I’m eating  Arizona  dust
 And wishing I  was home
 REPEAT INTRO
 Pedal steel solo on VERSE CHORDS
 Organ solo on bridge chords
 It’s too hard to look back
 When you don’t like what you see
 Pictures of all the people I love
 I let them down so casually
 You told me all the fears that were in your head
 Sitting there cross-legged on my bed
 Don’t you stay away long that’s what you said
 If you’re through with me
 I guess I’ll see
 When I’m standing at your door
 I finally got my balance back
 To where I was before
 And I’ve never been so lonely
 So I’m singing a Skydiggers’ song
 As I’m eating Arizona dust
 And wishing I was home
 As I’m eating Arizona dust
 And wishing I was home
 As I’m eating Arizona dust
 And wishing I was home
