Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Rolling  around a lifetime  on a name  that spells my past
 Carried  through the mile markers  up towards  some last laugh
 And if fools  could only prosper,  I'm afraid  what they might say
 From a podium  built on generations  bleeding  what they make
 Because here  it comes
 Watch them all jump  right in
 Tell me, how  could you refuse  to float with the rest  of them?
 You were born  into it, there's no shame  if you drift
 Down the bloodline
 Feeling temperamental underneath a broker sun
 A certificate of excellence, but no proof on your pay stub
 And if money's not a problem, I suggest you best believe
 There's ten dollars on the table, and a million up his sleeve
 And here they come, watch them all pass us by
 Tell me how could you refuse to look one in the eye?
 Two sheets to the wind all over again
 Down the bloodline
 Down the bloodline
 Yes,  it feels scary  to be ordinary
 In  a world that don't know your name
 It  would not be weird  if I just disappeared
 Blowing  my back out,  trying to hold my weight
 Looking for a doctor with a cure for a broke heart
 Seems I spent it all on a miracle just to watch it fall apart
 Now there's no room for ill-complaining, I know it's all just what it is
 Cherry-pick my best believers and send them off with a kiss
 Because there they go
 Watch them all wave goodbye
 Tell me how could you refuse to think it's a wonderful life?
 Two sheets to the wind all over again
 Down the bloodline
 Down the bloodline
 Down the bloodline

Readable chord sheet for Bloodline by Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band

R[A]olling around a li[E]fetime on a [F#m]name that spells my p[E]ast
C[A]arried through the mile ma[E]rkers up [Bm]towards some last la[E]ugh
And if f[A]ools could only pro[E]sper, I'm a[F#m]fraid what they might s[E]ay
From a po[A]dium built on ge[E]nerations b[Bm]leeding what they m[E]ake

Because h[F#m]ere it com[Bm]es
Watch them all j[E]ump right in
Tell me, h[Bm]ow could you re[D]fuse to float with the r[E]est of them?
You were [F#m]born into it, there's no s[Bm]hame if you dr[D]ift
Down the blo[A]odline

Feeling temperamental underneath a broker sun
A certificate of excellence, but no proof on your pay stub
And if money's not a problem, I suggest you best believe
There's ten dollars on the table, and a million up his sleeve

And here they come, watch them all pass us by
Tell me how could you refuse to look one in the eye?
Two sheets to the wind all over again
Down the bloodline
Down the bloodline

Y[F#m]es, it feels scar[Bm]y to be ordinary
I[D]n a world that don't know your nam[E]e
I[F#m]t would not be weird[Bm] if I just disappeared
B[D]lowing my back out,[E] trying to hold my weight

Looking for a doctor with a cure for a broke heart
Seems I spent it all on a miracle just to watch it fall apart
Now there's no room for ill-complaining, I know it's all just what it is
Cherry-pick my best believers and send them off with a kiss

Because there they go
Watch them all wave goodbye
Tell me how could you refuse to think it's a wonderful life?
Two sheets to the wind all over again
Down the bloodline
Down the bloodline
Down the bloodline
