Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I?m  so content, to  stand in line
Wait  and see,  pass  the time
Talk  a streak,  fall  asleep
Wake  up late,  whine  and weep
 I kiss the hand  that slaps me senseless
I?m  so accepting, I am  so defenseless
I  am far  too Canadian,  I am far  too Canadian
 I pick the bones of what?s been done and I
 Lick them clean with a cautious tongue
 In dim-lit rooms, I spill my guts
 I?m the revolution when the doors are shut
 I?d bite the hand that slaps me senseless
 But my patience, it is too relentless
 I am far too Canadian, I am far too Canadian
I  am the face  of my country
Expressionless  and small
Weak  at the knees,  shaking badly
Can?t  straighten up at all
 I watch the spine  of my country  bend  and break
I?m  in a sorry  state
 I scratch the walls to mark the days
 With my coup de tete I am locked away
 With mother Jones, pots of tea
 The kitchen poster, anarchy
 I never march in demonstrations
 I hold my breath for arbitration
 I am far too Canadian, I am far too Canadian
 I am far too Canadian, I am far too Canadian
I  am a sorry  state
 Won?t you welcome  to the sorry  state?
 Just a note: most of the Fm?s can also be played as F#m 7th, if you
 prefer. This sounds most authentic on an acoustic.
