Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 - XX0232  - XX0797  - XX09119 (no  5th) - xx2032-|
 G5 - 3x0033 G5(1) - 3X0032 Em9 - 022032 A -x03330---------|
 This song isn’t nearly as hard as these chords would make out, but since there are so
 poorly tabbed versions out there, I thought I’d throw mine into the mix which is certainly
 bit more accurate.
 For the D and G/D chords that open the song and are repeated throughout, you need to
 the first finger onto the middle G string, listen for the timing.
 So you are going from this: xx0032 ...to this: xx232. And then this:
  ....to this: xx0797.
 The only other thing to note is that she alternates between using the G5 and the G5(1)
 as I have labelled it above, so just listen for which is used where.
Poetry  is no place for a heart that's a whore
And  I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired,  overfired.
And  I've been poked & stoked, it's all smoke, there's no more fire
 Only desire
 For you, whoever you are
 For you, whoever you are
 Second Verse:
You  say my time here has been some sort of joke
 That I've been messing around  some sort of incubating period
 For when I really come around  I'm cracking up
 And you have no idea
 No idea how it feels  to be on your own
 In your own home  with the fucking phone
  G5 <---- note not G5(1)
 And the mother of gloom
 In your bedroom
 Standing over your head
 With her hand in your head,  with her hand in your head
 I will not pretend  I will not put on a smile
 I will not say I'm all right  for you when all I wanted  was to be good
 To do everything in truth,  to do everything in truth
 From here on there are no surprises and you can follow the patterns above and just
 to match the chords. Any questions or corrections please feel free to get in contact.
