Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 When you find  you can somehow
Make  it like all the rest
 Won't need  to scrounge around
 for someone  else
 Torn between  the unknown
 And a place  that you call home
 And a life  you want  but have never  known
 Chorus*
 There was a time  could put  it out of your  mind
Leave  it all behind
 There was a time
   320303
 That time is gone
 verse*
 Well whats life in 50 years in this town done for you
 Except to learn you name and place on a barstool
 Spent your whole life in this county
 You've never been out of state
 Say your gonna make out before its too late
 chorus*
 bridge*
 There was a time  when nothing seemed  to make much sense
 Now thats turned  more intense
 And all the crutches(?)  you kept around
 Are now nowhere to  be found
 obligatory solo* :)
 verse*
 When you find you somehow make it like all the rest
 Won't need to scrounge around for someone else
 But now its ... life in some kind of trap looking for a way out
 You keep movin' on that's what its all about
 chorus*
 END!
 Notes: There are some places where you need to fake a couple of runs
 like on the G's during the verses. And a couple of D's and A's lift
 your finger place on the highest string - meaning the high e when
 playing a D and the b when playing an A. When playing the bridge I
 sometimes don't play the G (turned more intense) part. The
 320303 chord requires you bend the G string up a half step to get that
 nice country octave effect.
 Have fun!
