Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
all  i ever asked of you
a copy  of garage days and to tell me the truth
ain't  no one watching you exit ventura highway
it's  like i knew two of you man
the  one before and after we shook hands
taking  the calls but in all forgetting what's been
 said
and  after dark in a cab in l.a.
forget  about the meter man these are salad days
comes on  the radio comes on and what's being said
is  you're  no  better than sylvia, no better than...
no better  than sylvia
where you  are and where you've been and where you've
 gone
Oh
here's  a mark he's a mark on the page
dishing  out the wisdom of this reflexive age
dotting  the eyes with an eye for defining what you
 were
so when  you do that line tonight
remember  that it came at a steep price
and  keep telling yourself there's more to you than her
but  you're no  better than sylvia, no better than...
no better  than sylvia
where you  gone where you been and where you gone
oh no.
(vibes  and whoosh sounds)
 - the chorus is a little funky with all the overlaps,
 but the chords are right...
