Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
there's  a map of the world on a wall in your room
 green pins  where you wanna go
 white pins  where you`ve been, there isn't even ten
 and you're  already feeling old
 Pretty faces  stare back from a magazine stack
 that you read when  you're feeling bored
 look through a telescope  lens, it doesn't make sense
 you think  you've been there before
 some far  off feeling, some upclose kind of ache
 a widescreen  reason to, look the other way
 there's a place by  the lake that you go when it's late
 it's summer  and the crowds are gone
 then you sit all  alone, with your thoughts getting stoned
 just waiting  for some peace so come
 like a thing  that you tried, that you thought that you liked
 for a minute  then it all felt wrong
 so you're changing  again, all your clothes all your friends
 it's the same as  it ever was
 some far  off feeling, some upclose kind of ache
 some widescreen  reason to, look the other way
ayyyyyyyyyyaya ooooo  ooo  ooo
ayyyyyyyyyyaya  ladum,  ladum
 Its a road  that you've paved over indian graves
 and you wonder  why your dreams are crazed
 so you cling  to your wife, your kids and your life
 theres nothing  that you're gunna save
 put the razor  to your face, hot water for a shave
 kill the shadow  of yesterday
 clean shirt,  clean pants, clean slate, second chance
 you're going  by another name
 some far  off feeling, some upclose kind of ache
 that instant  karma, it always comes too late
ayyyyyyyyyyaya  ooooo ooo  ooo
ayyyyyyyyyyaya  ladum, ladum
