Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
They  broke into your car  last night, took  the stereo
Now  you say you don't  know why you  even live there anymore
 The garage  man didn't see a thing,so  you guess  it was an inside job
You  made a reservation,  a table  for three
They  said you'd have to wait,  somebody must have bribed  the maitre'd
Boss  got mad and he blamed  it all on you
Food  was bad and the deal  fell through
 (chorus)
 Well out  here in the middle  you can park  it on the street
 Step  up to the counter;  nearly always  get a seat
 Nobody  steals,  Nobody  cheats
 Wish  you were here  my love
 Wish  you were here  my love
We  got tractor  pulls and Red  Man chew
Corporate  relo refugees  that need  love too
we  ain't seen Elvis  in a year  or two
we  got justification  for wealth and greed~
Amber  waves  of grain and bathtub  speed
Now  we even got Starbucks,  what else you need?
 (chorus)
Out  here in the middle  where the center's  on the right
 And the ghost  of William Jennings  Bryan preaches  every night
 To save  the lonely souls  in the dashboard  lights
 Wish  you were here  my love
 Wish  you were here  my love
 (chorus)
 Out here  in the middle Where  the buffalo  roam
 We're  putting up towers  for your  cell phones
 And  we screen  all  applicants  with a fine-tooth comb
 Wish  you were here  my love
 Wish  you were here  my love
 Wish  you were here  my love
