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:

   C5             F5               E5              G5
e | ------------- | -------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----- | 

C5                F5          E5             G5
The last thing I wanted was to end up like this
C5          F5       E5            G5
An old man running away from his kids
C5                   F5
Tell-tale neighbors bust my block
E5               G5
What I feared is clear
C5                 F5
Write me back and rescue me
E5                 G5
Everyone has their day in jail

(strum chorus)
C5       F5     A5         G5
Hold me down around your corner
C5       F5         A5       G5
Tell me something you have won
C5       F5           A5        G5
Sign outside reads 'House for sale'
C5        F5       A5      G5
Keeps me running down by law

(verse)
(chorus)
