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.
F           G
Beat up and kicked around

F                F
I pick myself up off the ground.

F              G 
I head east to another town

           F
I'm movin' on.

F                   G
Bar room fights and breakin' glass  

F                   F
A broken nose and a smoker's laugh.

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

G             F
A guitar with broken strings.

F                   F                 G
A busted heart that longs to sing the blues.

F                  F
A mind that always leads me wrong,

G                   F
A head full of Hank Williams songs.

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

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

F                       F
I'm a burned out junkie truck stop saint,

F                      G
So check the tires and fill the tank,

           F
I'm movin' on.

F                      G
Interstate markers and highway signs,

F                   F
Eighteen wheels and thin white lines.

F                  G
Dodge a speed trap one more time,

    F
I'm gone.
***REPEAT CHORUS***
Em         F          
So hard to leave you here this way,

Em                       F
With a white dress and a goodbye wave.

Em                            F
But theres mouths to feed and bills to pay,

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