Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  was lost for a while in the mirrored hallway  of a high-rise hotel
Umbrella  drink in my hand,  sitting there
Saw  ten thousand me’s with cocaine teeth and the  chattering mouths
Thought  about home thought about death
Thought  about moving south
Rodeo  wind blew in now the candles out
And  everyone’s scared
Call  my broker sell everything
I  want to be prepared
Heard  the cavalry cry my girl for the night when
I  entered her
Sounds  so fake, always feels fake finishes and
then  it feels worst
But  any hallway has a camera
 F C (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
 Every hallway has a camera don’t you know?
They  never let you open the window
 F C (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
 They never let you open the window
Smoke  signals of thought
White  ribbons  of loss
 Fm G C (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
 High above the tree line They cry out
 I froze up for a second on the pyramid side of the Las Vegas strip
 My brother hunched over in the bushes, getting sick
 Security knew he took one look and through us out, Life’s not fair
 Thought I'd die young with my true love
 Thought I’d be a millionaire
 In a mechanical world
 A loud sound you never heard is always there
 Radio’s trailing in the desert
 Keep driving until you disappear
 We made a gentleman’s pact
 We’re not stopping no looking back,
 Lace those shoes
 Take the first step, take the next step
 “That a boy!” It’s never too soon
 All that you keep is the journey
 All that you keep are the spaces in-between
 It’s not the first start of the ending
 All that you keep is the journey
 Smoke rings around your thoughts
 Blue ribbons at dawn
 High above the tree line
 We pass out
 Smoke signals of thought
 White ribbons of loss
 High above the tree line
 They cry out
