Chords

This is my first attempt at a submission, but I couldn't find this song anywhere, so I gave it a shot. It's a great song, hope this helps. It sounds right to me, but I'll apologize in advance for any errors.
G           D
Beat up and kicked around

G                C
I pick myself up off the ground.

G              D 
I head east to another town

           G
I'm movin' on.

G                   D
Bar room fights and breakin' glass  

G                   C
A broken nose and a smoker's laugh.

G                   D              G 
I'm sure I probably cut my life in half.
***CHORUS***
C                       G
With a suitcase full of empty dreams.

D             G
A guitar with broken strings.

C                   G                 D
A busted heart that longs to sing the blues.

C                  G
A mind that always leads me wrong,

D                   G
A head full of Hank Williams songs.

C          D                         G 
I'm sorry, honey, but this highway's home.

G                           D
I've loved pretty women and some that ain't. 

G                       C
I'm a burned out junkie truck stop saint,

G                      D
So check the tires and fill the tank,

           G
I'm movin' on.

G                      D
Interstate markers and highway signs,

G                   C
Eighteen wheels and thin white lines.

G                  D
Dodge a speed trap one more time,

    G
I'm gone.
***REPEAT CHORUS***
Bm         C                   G
So hard to leave you here this way,

Bm                       C       G
With a white dress and a goodbye wave.

Bm                            C       
But theres mouths to feed and bills to pay,

D
I'm sorry, honey, I've got to go.
***HARMONICA SOLO*** ***REPEAT CHORUS*** ***END***
