i copy this from one place to another the chords jump to different spots! whats up with that?

Todd Snider - Happy New Year

Capo on 5th fret

C majorC          G+G
happy new year everybody there's an overweight man with an overweight woman
                C majorC
on a sofa just watching TV hes yelling his opinion at the television she
                      D MajorD
looks up from her food and agrees they got two bumper stickers on there pick
                       G+G
up truck they keep the pick up parked outside one sticker says "what would
                             G+G
jesus do?" the other bumper sticker says "power of pride" I was thumbing
                         C majorC
through the stations on my own television when i come across a guy on the
              D MajorD
religious station singing "somebody's coming" sounding whiter than me
  G+G                                C majorC
somehow, wow, it took me back in time through dwindling joy to when I was
                   D MajorD           G+G  C majorC
such a guilt ridden catholic boy, I'm evangelical agnostic now  I don't know
           D MajorD                  G+G

don't walk out on me just yet you know whose name im yelling as im clutching
          D MajorD                    G+G
my chest the one my dad told me to and his told him to and I probably pray as
                                C majorC
much or more than you do believe? shit, every word i sing but believing and
                          D MajorD
knowing, those are two different things and if your trying to change the way
                  G+G
a strangers life will have to go I believe this is where i wanna stick to
           C majorC                   D MajorD

         G+G                     C majorC

                   D MajorD
kill what he cant understand I say we cant just kill what we don't understand
   G+G
but I turn on my tv and see that oh yes we can we can and we have since then
      C majorC                           D MajorD
dawn of man for countless gods whose only real seeming plan was to see to it
                      G+G
that clinging to life was our fate and you gotta admit that life’s pretty
   C majorC    D MajorD                 G+G
