Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Pattern: DDUDU DDUDU DDUDU
 Goes like thiiis :D
 Intro  x3
 So I sit  on this table  for one
 And pour  me a drink  that'll last
I'm  not drunk  I just miss  being young
 And I  grew old  too fast
 My wife she breaks and she bends
 My children they don't understand
 I came here tonight in search of a friend (These are same chords)
 But I'm the invisible man
 'cause I've swallowed  my tongue
 and I've polished my gun
 and I've sat  on my secrets for years
 with my stiff  upper lip
 my composure won't slip
 and I've hidden  each silent salty tear
  Intro riff
 I sit on this table for one
 And I have been here before
 It's a little less than I'd had in mind (Same as other verses)
 But I wouldn't ask for more
 And my mother she taught me to write
 And my father he taught me his trade
 And I wish that they could both be here tonight (Same)
 To see what a mess I've made
 'cause I've swallowed my tongue
 and I've polished my gun
 and I've sat on my secrets for years (Same as other chorus)
 with my stiff upper lip
 my composure won't slip
 and I've hidden each silent salty tear
 my sons and my daughters don't know me at all
 I've dug in trenches and put up walls
 I whisper I love you each night as they sleep (Same as chorus)
 But no one hears me when I speak
 On this table for one
 Strum this once
 So I sit  on this table  for one
 I won't go  till they tell  me to leave
 Why'd they teach  me to follow  my dreams
 When dreams  are all  they can be?
 Thankles.

But I wouldn't ask for more

And my mother she taught me to write
And my father he taught me his trade
