Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 You  could mess up my life in a poem
 Have  me divorced by the time of the chorus
 There's  no need to change any sentence
 When  you always decide where I go next
 Many nights you would hide from the audience
 When they were not in tune with your progress
 In the end you're a fool like the journalist
 Who turns what you sing into business
 You could use to be more like a hero
 A darker shade of damage distortion
 Wearing death like a cape or a costume
 Cut your ties and leave town when you want to
 Killing time 'til I pass through the chamber
 Or the room you keep my replacement
 so fed up, still you're starving on paper
 You're no him, but he's you, only better
 Leave me an exit to damage
 I could use a ledge to jump off of
 I wasn't lying when I said this was over
 I have questions that lead to more questions
 Running time that will cut off my fingers
 You wrote about me on every new record
 And I'll show up in a title of your song
 I only hope somebody requests it
 What's  it like for  you in Washington
 I've only seen photos of Washington
 I'll never know
 Leave me Manhattan, I want the evergreens
 Write me a song I can sing in my sleep
 As sure as the rain that will fall where you stand
 I want you and the skyline, these are my demands
 What's it like for you in Washington
 I've only seen photos of Washington
 I'll never know, know

Yo[C/G]u could mess up my life in a poem
Hav[G]e me divorced by the time of the chorus
Th[Am]ere's no need to change any sentence
Wh[F/C]en you always decide where I go next

Many nights you would hide from the audience
When they were not in tune with your progress
In the end you're a fool like the journalist
Who turns what you sing into business

You could use to be more like a hero
A darker shade of damage distortion
Wearing death like a cape or a costume
Cut your ties and leave town when you want to

Killing time 'til I pass through the chamber
Or the room you keep my replacement
so fed up, still you're starving on paper
You're no him, but he's you, only better

Leave me an exit to damage
I could use a ledge to jump off of
I wasn't lying when I said this was over
I have questions that lead to more questions

Running time that will cut off my fingers
You wrote about me on every new record
And I'll show up in a title of your song
I only hope somebody requests it

Wh[C/G]at's it like for[G] you in Wash[Am]ington       [F/C]
I've only seen photos of Washington
I'll never know

Leave me Manhattan, I want the evergreens
Write me a song I can sing in my sleep
As sure as the rain that will fall where you stand
I want you and the skyline, these are my demands

What's it like for you in Washington
I've only seen photos of Washington
I'll never know, know
