I've always done it this way:

Code:

I                IV
What the hell is this?
                                ii     I
You said it's art, just fuckin' mirror it
                IV
Where did we go wrong?
                   ii     I
If not here, where do we belong?
     vi                              IV
In a shot of sun off an airplane far above her
       ii                                V
In the glint of a foot-burnished manhole cover
       vi                           IV
In the light, a sign of one kind or another
       ii                              IV I
In the gleaming eye of a fighter or a lover

Which is more or less the same, but throwing in the minor chords makes for a little more colour.

Doing it that way, I like to do it in A with a capo on the second fret, because I like the chord voicings you get for the D and Bm, which gives you a descending bass line back to the A. Your mileage may vary.
