Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Out  on the street I was talkin'  to a man
He  said "there's so  much of this life  of mine that I  don't understand"
You  shouldn't worry I said that ain't  no crime
Cause  if  you get it wrong  you'll get it right  next time,  next time.
 You need direction, yeah you need a name
 When you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the same
 After a while you can recognize the signs
 So if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.
 Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat
 It'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet
 No use complainin', don't you worry, don't you whine
 Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.
 You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakes
 You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awake
 When you believe there's no mountain you can climb
 And if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.
 Next time, u-hum
