Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
this  one’s going out to you
 as the  taxi pulls away
 a song  to keep you company  for the ride
there's  something wrong with a goodbye
 in the  middle of the day
 so pretend  I am still sitting  at your side
and  if you want to talk about all the differences
between  the shackle and the man
or  if you’ve got reasons no one ever let  you say
then  fire awayyyyyyyyyy
fire awayyyyyyyy
 this ones going out to you
 on the day they let you out
 for the thousand ways they ask if you're okay
 because whatever answer that you give
 it’s only gonna play into their doubts
 and be just half of what’s behind each word you say
 so if you finally roped that heartbreak song
 that the experts never could
 or if you just wanted someone to listen to you play
then  fire awayyyyyyyyyy
fire awayyyyyyyy
 fire  away
 this ones going out to you
 if you ever start to slip
 and you learn to read between these lines you've drawn
 when what is wrong and what is right
 seem more like just the ocean and the ship
 and the straight line that you've followed here is gone
 and if that same old fox comes and sweeps you up
 each time you spread your wings
 I could at least love you through each stumble, shift and sway
then  fire awayyyyyyyyyy
fire awayyyyyyyy
 fire  awayyyyy
when  you need someone to walk away  from
when  you need someone to let you  in (through  each stumble, shift and sway)
when  you need someone to walk away  from
when  you need someone to let you  in
