Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Breaking  up in the station,  a final train
 I don't even know  if I'll ever see you again
 Is it a choice  that we even have?
Bang  bang down on the piano  'til I smash the keys
 Living alone  with the melodies
 Everything's gone  and I don't know where
 And the rule  of thumb don't apply  anymore
 'Cause the house  is burning....
 Trying to pull  myself away
 I'm caught in a pattern  and I can't escape
 Trying to pull  myself away
Lately  when I get lost  there's this thing I know
 Even the dogs  have somewhere to go
 Everything comes  if you just let it be
Work,  work, brighten the corners  that will never see
 Untangle the thoughts  that you know what they mean
 I hope that the answer  didn't come to late
 And the rule  of thumb don't apply  on me
 'Cause the tables  are turning....
 Trying to pull  myself away
 I'm caught in a pattern  and I can't escape
 Trying to pull  myself away
 Trying to pull myself away, everything's gone
 Trying to pull myself away, everything's gone
 Song performed by Glan Hansard in the movie Once - I haven't found the tab on the net,
 that's the reason why I've tabbed it and the above is here now ;)
 This is a basic chords progression. Chords themselves may be more complex in the
 version of the song, but this will do for a simple playing.
 The strumming should be very strong and vivid - listen to the original and you will
 catch it.
 Have fun.

[A]Breaking up in the s[Em7]tation, a final t[A]rain
