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

I laughed so nobody ever had to catch me crying
D Em C

And I cried so nobody ever had to catch me lying

And I failed a thousand times but it keeps me trying

You make it all worth my while

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!
