Hard To Be Ukulele Chords

Artist: David Bazan 
Song: Hard To Be
Album: Curse Your Branches

This is obviously minus intro and outro. I watched a few live videos and listened 
to the album to figure it out. When I edited all this the chords lined up properly 
with the corresponding words so if it's lined up wrong sorry. This is my first submission. 

Standard Tuning - Capo 4th Fret

Bm                         Bm     D                            D
You've heard the story you know how it goes
Am                  Bm                       D                        Bm
Once upon a garden we were lovers with no clothes
Bm                      Bm                 D                      D
Fresh from the soil we were beautiful and true
     Am                    Bm                      D                         Bm
In control of our emotions till we ate the poison fruit

And now its...

A decent Human being 

                    Bm
Wait just a minute
        D                          D
You expect me to believe
        Am                  Bm                          D                         Bm
that all this misbehaving grew from one enchanted tree
         Bm              Bm                           D                 D
And helpless to fight it we should all be satisfied
                Am                  Bm             D                        Bm
With the magical explanation for why the living die

Am                 D          D                           D
Childbirth is painful toil to grow our food
Am                             D
Ignorance made us hungry
D                                          D
Information made us no good
           Am                         Bm
Every burden misunderstood

Bm                Bm                 D                         D
I swung my tassel to the left side of my cap
                 Am             Bm                           D                    Bm
Knowing after graduation there would be no going back
        Bm               Bm                         D                   D
and no congratulations from my faithful family
               Am                           Bm            D                     Bm
some of whom are already fasting to intercede for me
