Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Once  upon a time  I could take anything,  anything.
Always  stepped in time,  regardless  of the beat
 I moved my feet,  I carried weight
 When I could  not do a thing
And  I'm done seeking treasure
Just  to wake up in  an early grave
So  I stopped right there and said
 Go all alone,  'cause I won't follow.
 This isn't giving  up, no this is letting go
 Out with the old  dreams I've  borrowed
 The path  I call from here on out will be my own
 The path  will be my own
 This is the part where the needle skips
 And the chorus plays like a sink that drips
 A syllable repeating, like a warning we're not heeding
 Until all is said and we noticed it
 When the wheels brace and the tires grip
 A map we've been misreading
 A defeat we're not conceding
 Until now
 There must be some other way out
 Go all alone, 'cause I won't follow
 This isn't giving up no this is letting go
 Out with the old dreams I've borrowed
 The path I call from here on out will be my own
 A path to take me home
 Haven't figured out this part yet
 but the two ending chords are:
The  wind died
The  whole world  ceased to move
Now  so quiet
Her  beating heart  became a boom
We  locked eyes
For  just a moment  or two
She  asked why
 I said "I  don't know why"
 I just know
 The wind died
The  whole world  ceased to move
Now  so quiet
Her  beating heart  became a boom
We  locked eyes
For  just a moment  or two
She  asked why
 I said "I  don't know why"
 I just know
 I just know
 Go all alone,  'cause I won't follow
 This isn't giving  up, no this is letting  go
 I'll make the most  of all this  sorrow
 I tried to break  these tears' contempt but now I'm through
 I'm letting go of you.
 This is letting go
 This is letting go
Once  upon a time  I could take anything, anything

[Em] [C] [G] [D]

[Em]Once upon a t[C]ime I could take anythi[G]ng, anyt[D]hing.
[Em]Always stepped in [C]time, regar[G]dless of the [D]beat
I moved my [Em]feet, I carried w[C]eight
When I c[G]ould not do a t[D]hing
[Em]And I'm done seeking tr[C]easure
[G]Just to wake up i[D]n an early grave  [Em]      [C]          [G]
[D]So I stopped right there and said

Go all a[G]lone, 'cause I won't f[D]ollow.
This isn't g[Em]iving up, no this is letting [C]go
Out with the o[G]ld dreams I've[D] borrowed
The p[Em]ath I call from here on out will be my o[C]wn
The [G]path will be my [C]own   [D]

[Em] [C] [G] [D]

This is the part where the needle skips
And the chorus plays like a sink that drips
A syllable repeating, like a warning we're not heeding
Until all is said and we noticed it
When the wheels brace and the tires grip
A map we've been misreading
A defeat we're not conceding
Until now
There must be some other way out

Go all alone, 'cause I won't follow
This isn't giving up no this is letting go
Out with the old dreams I've borrowed
The path I call from here on out will be my own
A path to take me home

[G]The whole wo[D]rld ceased to move
[Em]Now so [C]quiet
[G]Her beating h[D]eart became a boom
[Em]We locked [C]eyes

I just [Em]know
The wind [C]died
[G]The whole w[D]orld ceased to move

This is letting [Em]go [C]
[Em]Once upon a [C]time I could take [G]anything, [D]anything
