Solo suggestions:  C major scale is fine, bending the third up every once in a while, until the 
A#sus2, at which point I suggest briefly switching over to C Mixolydian, emphasizing the flat 7th.  
That can hold over until the Fm, where briefly playing the Cm scale is good.  Finally, when 
the G is reached, go back to the original C major scale.

 CI tried to find   E7a good reason for loving
  AmBut I couldn't find nothing, though I D7searched all through the night.
 CBack at the all night diner,  E7feeding coins to the old jukebox
  AmI feel the rhythm, no matter what is given by the D7school of hard knocks

So and if Cmusic is what E7/Bfuels your love,
Play Fon, play D7on, on

  AmAnd as a chill ran down my spine, I D7knew something was missing
 CSo I turn my eyes inward  E7to search for that something more
  AmAnd with the sun, I hit the rode running to sing D7songs from my soul's core
