Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  sat along the rocks and watched the cold Maine water rush away.
The  sun and my guitar and I knew what you were doing yesterday.
You  broke those promises but  I’ll get over it.
‘Cause  as long as I’m breathing fresh air I  don’t really give a shit
But  I'll get mad for the next ten years, but realise  sometimes things  are great.
I  didn’t have directions and I hadn’t eaten anything all day.
We  sucked a fat one and wasted a hundred dollars just to play.
Ate  a bag of peanuts, before  the windy road.
And  I couldn’t drink a thing all night because  of the vomit in my throat.
Then  you gave me your sweatshirt and your number,  sometimes things  are great.
You  don’t own me! You  don't own me!
I  worked my ass of my entire life to accomplish one dream.
It  started happening and everything was bastardized my greed.
I  said “pull this shit over and let  me out
I  swear to fucking God I’m fucking giving  up right now”
And  now I’ve got a brand new start, I realise  sometimes things  are great.
Scream  it in apartment halls -
Scream  it loud in shopping malls -
Take  a ball point pen and paint the inside’s of your eyelids with the constant  reminder:
You  don’t own me. You  don’t own me.
Then  I was underground without food or sunlight or encouragement.
Depression  set in ‘cause I was a product of my environment.
And  then the other day, I just  got in my car.
Pick  Glenn Tillbrook up from the hotel, drive  him to the bar.
He  wore a t-shirt just like me  and wasn’t on his phone
and  for fifteen fucking minutes I had a conversation  with a hero.
So  I’ll be mad for the next  ten years...
And  after that we’ll go drink beers until  the bar runs out of beers
prepare  for the next  twenty-three years.
*  x4
‘Cause  if I wasn’t a fat kid in high school, I  would have never listened to punk rock.
And  if I knew how to throw a football, I  would have never played any music.
And  if never got my heart broken, I  would sing “blah blah fucking nothing.”
And  if you didn’t fuck my ex-girlfriend, I  would still owe you three-thousand dollars.
And  if I never lived in that van then I  wouldn’t have met Chris or Steve or James, Alex
 Middagh.
And  if I never worked in a basement I  would have never quit my job.
 And if  I had a big emo band or dropped out of college, I would have never met you, man.
