Capo: 3
[G] [D] [Em]
Well I prayed [C]that the sun was a hope and the [G]rain was an angel
[D] [Em] [C]
I came out o[G]f the treetop and into the cradle
[D] [Em]
[C]And I broke down like a b[G]abe with the hungriest belly
You make [D]it all wort[Em]h my whi[C]le[G]
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
Well I lay under the c[G]overs for a hundred days
[D] [Em] [C]
And I closed bot[G]h my eyes til the relatives came
[D] [Em] [C]
And I spun rou[G]nd in a circle til I came undone
[D] [Em] [C] [G]
[Em]You ma[C]ke i[D]t all worth my while
So sen[G]d me to the grave with the age old question[D]
[Em]How'd I get into this beautiful mess?[C]
It was never[G] my intention and never my style[D]
[Em]Everything about you is worth my while[C] [G]
[D] [Em] [C]
I laughed so nob[G]ody ever had to catch me crying
[D] [Em] [C]
And I cried so nobo[G]dy ever had to catch me lying
[D] [Em] [C]
And I failed a thousand[G] times but it keeps me trying
[D] [Em] [C] [G]
[Em]You[C] m[D]ake it all worth my while
So sen[G]d me to the grave with the age old question[D]
[Em]How'd I get into this beautiful mess?[C]
It was never[G] my intention and never my style[D]
[Em]Everything about you is worth my while[C] [G]
So sen[G]d me to the grave with the age old question[D]
[Em]How'd I get into this beautiful mess?[C]
It was never[G] my intention and never my style[D]
[Em]Everything about you is worth my while[C] [G]
So sen[G]d me to the grave with the age old question[D]
[Em]How'd I get into this beautiful mess?[C]
It was never[G] my intention and never my style[D]
[Em]Some things happen and I don't know why[C]
And it all co[G]mes down at the end of the day[D]
Its ha[Em]rd to handle and its hard to take[C]
Its a mig[G]hty big world, mighty big game[D]
[Em]I've been broken and I've been ashamed[C]
I've been caught i[G]n the world, out in the blue,[D]
[Em] [C] [G]
Cr[D]as[Em]hed to the floor but I still have you
[C]I still have you[G] [D] [Em]
[C]I still have you[G] [D] [Em]
[C]I still have you[G] [D] [Em]
[C]I still have you[G] [D] [Em]
(I think it threw out the spacing a little, but if you stick to the patterns (G-D-Em-C
and G-Em-C-D) and switch every two counts, you'll be sweet. You know the song anyway!
Otherwise, listen to the track for the timing. Sorry about that!
