There's not necessarily an exact way to pick out the 
chords in the song; just whatever you feel sounds right. 
I like to think it's something like this:

C (x32010@1)           F (133211@1)             Em (022000@1)            Ge|-------------|-------1-------|---------------|-------| (320003@1)B|-----1-------|---------1---1-|-------0-------|-------|
G|-------0---0-|-----2-----2---|---------0---0-|-------|
D|---2-----2---|---3-----------|-----2-----2---|-------|
A|-3-----------|-0-------------|---2-----------|---0-2-|
E|-------------|---------------|-0-------------|-3-----|

C (x32010@1)              F (133211@1)        Em (022000@1)           GThe (320003@1)last thing I wanted was to end up like this
C (x32010@1)        F (133211@1)     Em (022000@1)          GAn (320003@1)old man running away from his kids
