C G
well i prayed that the sun was a hope and the rain was an angel
D Em C
G
i came out of the treetop and into the cradle
D Em
C G
and i broke down like a babe with the hungriest belly
D Em C G
you make it all worth my while
G D Em C
G
well i lay under the covers for a hundred days
D Em C
G
and i closed both my eyes til the relatives came
D Em C
G
and i spun round in a circle til i came undone
D Em C G
Em C D
you make it all worth my while
G D
so send me to the grave with the age old question
Em C
how’d i get into this beautiful mess?
G D
it was never my intention and never my style
Em C G
everything about you is worth my while
D Em C
G
i laughed so nobody ever had to catch me crying
D Em C
G
and i cried so nobody ever had to catch me lying
D Em C
G
and i failed a thousand times but it keeps me trying
D Em C G
Em C D
you make it all worth my while
G D
so send me to the grave with the age old question
Em C
how’d i get into this beautiful mess?
G D
it was never my intention and never my style

Em C
how’d i get into this beautiful mess?
G D
it was never my intention and never my style
Em C
some things happen and i don’t know why
G D
and it all comes down at the end of the day
Em C
its hard to handle and its hard to take
G D
its a mighty big world , mighty big game
Em C
i’ve been broken and i’ve been ashamed
G D
i’ve been caught in the world , out in the blue ,
Em C G
D Em
crashed to the floor but i still have you
C G D Em
i still have you
C G D Em
i still have you
C G D Em
i still have you
C G D Em
i still have you
( 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!
