Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  was handed down  the looks  of a man with a broken  nose
 That's the  way our family was I  suppose
 But at least  you gave me  deeply  profound
 As we lay  and chattered late  upon the cricket ground
You  didn'd have to love  me
 Where  others got rid
 You didn't have to treat  me like a very  good friend
But  I'm glad you did
I'm  glad that you did
 One  thing I never said  to you
 And one  thing I never can
 Amongst the false  applause and the deafening  cheers
 I'm  you No. 1 fan
 I'm you No. 1  fan
 I'm the richly  blessed daughter  of a mother  with tatooed arms
 That's the  way my family life,  life was charmed
 But at least  it gave  me a  mental grace
 And a thought  at the pit  of my mind and a  smile on my face
You  didn't have to listen
 To a  word that I'd said
 You didn't have to tell  me all those silly  old jokes
For  every tear that I shed
 Every tear that I shed
 'Cos one  thing I never said  to you
 And one  thing I never can
 Amongst the false  applause and the deafening  cheers
 I'm  you No. 1 fan
 I'm you No. 1  fan
 I was handed  down a bike  with a  crooked old wheel
 But I rode  it on a million  lanes the way that  you made me feel
 But at least  we thought about  it  so long and so hard
 As we  sat upon our mother  in the graveyard
And  you don't have to listen
 To a  word in this song
 You picture hangs the same  and in the same  old place
Even  though that you've gone
 Even though that you've gone
 'Cos one  thing I never said  to you
 And one  thing I never can
 Amongst the false  applause and the deafening  cheers
 I'm  you No. 1 fan
 I'm you No. 1  fan
 Yes I am
 I'm your No. 1 fan
