Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
We  argued on the channel train to Paris
 The vanrougue  helped us make it sweet again
 But by  the time that we got down to Lyon
 Everything I said was wrong
 And you cursed me in the rain
 We split  up for a while in Barcelona
 We met  up six days later in Madrid
 I was hoping  that the break would
 make it go a little better for us
 And for  a little while it almost did
Now  I'm in a bar in Copenhagen
 And I'm tryin'  hard to forget your name
 And I'm staring  at the label of a bottle of cervasa
 And every fucking city looks the same
You  said to call me when I got to London
 A French  girl said you'd left a note
 I said to her  'I like your accent'
 And she thought I sounded funny
 So we ended  up drinking in Soho
Foolishly  I followed you to Dublin
 Like a ghost  I walked the streets of Temple Bar
 And all  the bright young things
 were throwing up their Guinness in the gutters
 And once  I thought I saw you from afar
Now  I'm in a nightclub in Helsinki
 And they're playing  La Vida Loca once again
 And I can't  believe I'm dancing to this crap
 but I'm a chance here
 And every fucking city sounds the same
 
At  a cafe; in the port of Amsterdam
 An email  from you said you'd gone to Rome
 For a  minute I thought maybe
 but my funds were running low
 And anyway  it sounded like you weren't alone
 So I headed  north 'til I got to Hamburg
 A chilly  city suits a troubled soul
 And on  the Reaperbahn
 I paid a woman far too much
 To kick  me out before I'd even reached my goal
Now  I'm in a restaurant in Stockholm
 And the  waiter here wants me to know his name
 And  I can order sandwiches
 in seven different languages
 But every fucking city looks the same
 Arevaderci,  au revoiur, auf weidersein, hasta la vista.....baby
 Every fucking city's just the same.

Everything I said was w[A]rong
And you cursed me in the r[E]ain

We [A]split up for a while in Barcelona
We [E]met up six days later in Madrid
I was [Bm]hoping that the break would

make it go a little better for us
And f[A]or a little while it almost d[E]id

[D]Now I'm in a bar in Copenhagen
And I'm [A]tryin' hard to forget your name
And I'm [G]staring at the label of a bottle of cervasa    [E]
And every fucking city looks the sa[A]me

[A]You said to call me when I got to London
A F[E]rench girl said you'd left a note
I said to [Bm]her 'I like your accent'

And she thought I sounded funny
So we e[A]nded up drinking in Soh[E]o

[A]Foolishly I followed you to Dublin
Like a g[E]host I walked the streets of Temple Bar
And [Bm]all the bright young things
