Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
It's  true that I used to be crazy
 and harder  to love than most men
 but the blood  that ran  through these tired old hands
 was harder  and wilder back then
 and I don't feel as tall as I used to
 maybe it's just that you've grown
 you're the one that held my hand when I fell
 when I just couldn't make it alone
I've  lived out all the stories
sang  all the old songs
 It takes  one to know  me
I guess  you're the one
 My daughters are ladies of fortune
 My son is an heir to the throne
 and this crown that I hold is
 tarnished and cold
 but it's a symbol of all that I own
 sometimes i wish i was younger
 and could pick up the peices and run
 but then i look back on the matter of fact
 and it's a race that i've already won
 Repeat chorus
 End on
