Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  never had a chance - Did  you baby?
So  good looking, so insecure.
and  now you say you can't remember
when  the lines you drew began to blur.  C-Am-C-D
 Yeah, When all of this is over ---
should  I lose you in the smoke
 I want  you to know
 You were the one. ---
 (chorus)
 And may my  love travel  - with you everywhere.
 Baby, may my  love travel
 with you always.
Maggie's  still trying to rope a tornado.
Joe's  in the backyard trying to keep things simple.
And  the lonely DJ's digging a ditch trying  to keep the flames
 from the temple.
Oh,  and if perhaps I lose  you
 in the smoke  down the road.
 I want  you to know
 You  were the one.
 (repeat chorus) Then (guitar solo)
How  about a cheer for all those bad  girls?
 And all  those boys that play that Rock  N Roll.
They  love it like you love Jesus.
It  does the same thing
 to their souls.
 And when  all of this is over - should  I lose you in the smoke.
 I want  you to know
 you were the one.
 (chorus) 2X
 Note: I'm not a 100% sure on that 4 step change (C-Am-C-D) but
 everything else should be correct.
