Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Oooh
I  sometimes lose my faith in luck
 I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
 I just count  the rain
Wearing  the floor through the boards again
I  wish I could find a soul to steal
 I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
 And we could  drive it home, and never  have to worry about being alone
Oooh,  I follow my tracks
See  all the times I should have turned back
Oooh,  I wept alone
I  know what it means to be on my own
Oooh,  the things I've have known
Looks  like I'm taking the hard way home
Oooh,  the seeds I've sown
Taking  the hard way home
Taking  the hard way home
 I never did learn how to follow the rules
 I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full
 I just lie and burn
 Wreck my mind while the planet turns
 I sometimes wish I could start again
 I'd try and do the right thing every now and then
 I'd step in line
 That's what I'd do if I could turn back time
 Oooh, follow my tracks
 See all the times I should have turned back
 Oooh, I wept alone
 I know what it means to be on my own
 Oooh, the things I've known
 Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
 Oooh, the seeds I've sown
 Taking the hard way home
 Taking the hard way home
ooooooooooooh
 I tell you how I want to live
 Forget about the take
 Forget about the give
 I want to leave this town
 Fake my death and never be found
 Oooh, follow my tracks
 See all the times I should have turned back
 Oooh, I wept alone
 I know what it means to be on my own
 Oooh, the things I've known
 Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
 Oooh, the seeds I've sown
 Taking the hard way home
 Taking the hard way home
 I sometimes lose my faith in luck
 I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
 I just count the rain
 Wearing the floor through the boards again
 I wish I could find a soul to steal
 I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
 And we could drive it home, I never have to worry about being alone
 Oooh, the things I have known
 Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
 Oooh, the seeds I've sown
 Taking the hard way home
 Taking the hard way home
 Taking the hard way home
