Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Mileage  has taken its toll, painted with lines  to show,
 You've had your fill of asphalt,  cough tremors and smoke-filled doors.
Look  like the habit controls  you, look like you need a rest,
You've  made  it to the  teller line, don't know  what to expect.
 (chorus)
God  knows  you don't need it,
Too  early  you might be the one.
 Find yourself someone  else,
 Too early  in the sun.
 Song strains distant over the barroom drink-filled roar,
 The old folksinger lays it down, not for long, no longer ignored.
 Spinning tales of temptation, of gambling days lost and won,
 No crimes committed here, too much habit could be the one.
 (chorus)
 Never seen half of what you've seen, real life never quite adds up.
 The road goes on when the faces don't, word of mouth never tells the truth.
 I'd like to hear your story told with a two-step beat and rhyme,
 Could be Tennessee or Texas, on and on the mad road winds.
 (chorus)
