Ukulele chords from his original unreleased original YouTube video:
Update 27 January 2023 - I have added the rest of the song to match the official lyric video:

Capo 2 to play along with the official lyric video.
For the C5* chords, play a Csus4 (0013) and hammer on to the 3rd fret of the E string for the C5.
For the F*, hammer on to the 2nd fret of the G string.
Although he doesn't add hammers on his A chords on the guitar, I do find that it sounds nice to hammer on
to the A string of some of the G chords on the ukulele.
He seems to be avoiding the high E string in this song and I find that, for the most part, avoiding the
G string for everything except the F* hammer ons gives the same feeling on the ukulele (though it still
sounds fine if you do play it).

[Verse 1]
C5* C5* I still hit them dive bars F C5 Every once in a blue moon C5* C5* Got a wild card C F C5 I keep inside my boot G F C5 I been thinking lately maybe I should save it G F C5 'Cause them hangovers sure kick my ass these days Am G F* F* So I spend most my happy hours here at home F* G C5 C5* In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old
[Chorus]
C5* C5* F* C5 But I can still raise hell all night with the boys when I want to C5* C5* G Lay that hammer down to see how fast she'll go C5* C5* F* C5 But these days I hang my hat on what I won't do C5* C5* G And I've been finding peace of mind slowin' my roll Am G F F* Learn to toe that line with time as it goes F* G C5* C5* In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old
[Verse 2]
C5* C5* It's when you start thinking F C5 How much time left you got C5* C5* If there's more sand C F C5 In the bottom or the top G F C5 'Cause that hour glass we have don't last forever G F C5 I've been thinkin' 'bout it more and more these days Am G F* F* It's like the less you have the faster that it goes F* G C5 C5* In the middle of growing up and gettin old
[Chorus]
C5* C5* F* C5 But I can still raise hell all night with the boys when I want to C5* C5* G Lay that hammer down to see how fast she'll go C5* C5* F* C5 But these days I hang my hat on what I won't do C5* C5* G And I've been finding peace of mind slowin' my roll Am G F F* You learn to toe that line with time as it goes F* G C5* C5* In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old
[Bridge]
G F C5 I'm still bendin' rules, but thinkin' 'fore I break 'em F C5 G And I ain't lost a step, I just look before I take 'em
[Outro]
C5* C5* F* C5 But I can still raise hell all night with the boys when I want to C5* C5* G Lay that hammer down to see how fast she'll go C5* C5* F* C5 But these days I hang my hat on what I won't do C5* C5* G And I've been finding peace of mind slowin' my roll Am G F F* Learn to toe that line with time as it goes F* G C5* C5* In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old
