Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
And  I've gone silver on my  travels,
 growing silver  in my sideburns. I'm starting  to unravel  her,
My  heartbeats on a downhill,
 I counted eighty  on my pulse as Kilrenny Church struck three  for three o'clock.
What  else?
What  else?
And  you said twelve years in retirement.
 The hours go by like  sips of water. The record lies  unbroken,
and  no doubt, it's white flour in my diet.
 It's going to be  the death of me, sweet drumroll for  those embittered big ideas.
It's  such  a waste of all that I had.
It's  such  a waste of all that I had.
 You mentioned bats in the attic,
 so now you're lifting up the tiles to get around these conservation rules.
 I walked down in the basement.
 I'm hanging upside down, a gag across my mealy mouth.
 And how I'll laugh out loud about that.
 When I read your simple novel, it uses all our real names.
 And go make yourself a fortune,
 there's nothing left for us then us left dangling just a little shamefaced.
 It's such a waste of what we had.
 And it's such a waste of all that we had.
 And it's such a waste of all that I am.

You mentioned bats in the attic,
so now you're lifting up the tiles to get around these conservation rules.
I walked down in the basement.
I'm hanging upside down, a gag across my mealy mouth.

And how I'll laugh out loud about that.
When I read your simple novel, it uses all our real names.
And go make yourself a fortune,
there's nothing left for us then us left dangling just a little shamefaced.

It's such a waste of what we had.
And it's such a waste of all that we had.
And it's such a waste of all that I am.
